Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am in charge of the Cat and Miscellaneous areas at the centre and am tasked with their efficient running. I ensure the animals are given the behavioural and medical support they require and work with the staff to reach their goals.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I am reminding myself of things I already know just through my job in the first place but I am also learning why we do what we do.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt how to communicate better and to pay attention to the finer details in the background working in animal rescue.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I have a day in the week to work on the apprenticeship and once a month a have a session with my tutor as we work through our modules. She also visits me once every few months so we can work on the final assessment which is reassuring.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I get a working day in the week to complete apprenticeship work which is helpful.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It will give me a better understanding of why we do what we do and more ideas on what we can change to improve the centre for the animals and staff.
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
Training days for items I am involved in such as biosecurity, social activities outside work with colleagues and being part of a wellbeing network
