Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I neither enjoy nor dislike the programme

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Fairly well structured but not really relevant to my job role
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
Not as much as I could be getting
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Will always reply if I text or email, might take a day or two but they will get back to me
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It hasn’t helped me so far. Perhaps helped on the funeral itself. Hearse driving and bearing.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Not really. Sometimes charitable events and we have done a couple of meet and greets with local nursing homes
