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

I assist individuals with physical disabilities, learning difficulties, autism, Down syndrome and challenging behaviour to live as independently and comfortably as possible. I provide person-centred care, ensuring each individual’s needs, preferences, and dignity are respected at all times.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I receive a good level of support from my training provider, my personal tutor is approachable and provides clear guidance on what is expected for each unit, which helps me understand my work better.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel that my qualification helps me perform much better in my role as a support worker. The knowledge and skills I am gaining are directly relevant to my day-to-day responsibilities, which makes it easier to apply what I learn in practice.
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
Yes
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Paragon Skills to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Because I have had a positive experience with the support and guidance provided so far. My personal tutor has been helpful, approachable, and provides clear feedback, which has made it easier for me to understand my work and stay on track.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Paragon Skills?
I would advise others applying to Paragon Skills to stay organised and manage their time well, as this will help balance work responsibilities alongside completing the qualification. Keeping up to date with assignments and not leaving work until the last minute makes the programme much more manageable.
