Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I’m an assistant manager so my job role involves all the aspects of care and support for the Individuals we support aswell as supporting the staff team I work with
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
It is good, but there is a lot of work just to get it completed and some of the questions can be quite repetitive

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I’ve learnt a lot working up the ladder, I started as relief staff with no care experience and now I’m an assistant manager

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
They break it down so it’s easy enough to follow
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
I only get 1 day a month to get my course done with my company so I spend most of my days off working on it
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Whenever I need help I can always email and I usually get a response in a day or two. At first it was hard to get help as they kept changing my trainer, but I’ve had the same one for the last 6months
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Some of it I will never use but other parts can help me
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
No

Yes
Why?
Because everywhere is looking for care workers and even though we don’t do company activities we still work together to provide the best care for those we support
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Choice Support?
Always mention how important safeguarding is and person-centred approach plus explain what it is. Just be yourself don’t put on an act because the amount you will work there you’ll never be able ti hide for long
