I take them for walks , supervise at meal times and help them get to sleep . And anything else as directed by my room leader
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I am enjoying my apprenticeship program very much there is lots to learn and is presented in an easy visual way. Now that I am used to One File . Took a while to get used to in the beginning yet I'm confident now. It's done in reasonable time constraints so not all at once.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
How to cut and prepare fruit and vegetables to prevent choking in babies and toddlers.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I would say very well for my first ever apprenticeship. I am in my 50s now compared to the YTS scheme back in my early 20s this is more interesting.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Lots from my Room Leader she is very supportive and my Deputy manager she will give me any information I need for my learning.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
A lot Lauren Masters understands my Autism and challenges and does not mind repeating things and explaining so that I can understand.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Half and half it helps to one extent. Certain aspects of my role begin to make sense once I study a certain topic.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Sadly no chance to team build 😕
