SUPPORT WORKER Review

As a Support Worker
I provide high-quality, person-centred care to individuals with diverse physical, mental and complex health needs, promoting their dignity, independence and wellbeing. My responsibilities include assisting with personal care, monitoring vital signs such as blood glucose, administering and recording medications, supporting PEG feeding, maintaining accurate electronic care records, and recognising and escalating changes in health. I work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, families and healthcare professionals to deliver safe, effective care. I also mentor colleagues, coordinate daily care activities, ensure compliance with safeguarding and infection prevention standards, and contribute to positive patient outcomes.

My programme is well organised and structured, with clear learning outcomes, planned assessments and regular guidance from my assessor. The units are arranged in a way that allows me to build my knowledge and skills gradually while applying what I learn in my workplace. The support and feedback I receive help me understand areas for improvement and continue progressing throughout the programme.

I receive good support from my employer throughout my programme. They provide opportunities to apply my learning in the workplace, allow time for training and assessments, and encourage my professional development. My colleagues and managers are supportive, offering guidance and feedback that helps me build my confidence and improve my skills.

I receive good support from my training provider while working towards my qualification. My assessor provides regular guidance, feedback and encouragement, helping me understand the requirements of each unit and complete my work effectively. They are approachable and available to answer questions, which has helped me stay motivated and make steady progress throughout the programme.

My qualification has helped me perform better in my role by improving my knowledge, confidence and practical skills. It has strengthened my understanding of person-centred care, safeguarding, health and safety, communication and professional responsibilities. I am now better able to provide safe, effective support and respond appropriately to the needs of the individuals I care for.

Yes

Yes, I would recommend Lancashire County Council to a friend. It is a supportive organisation that provides opportunities for learning, career development and gaining valuable experience. The organisation values its staff, encourages professional growth, and supports employees in delivering high-quality services to the community. It also provides opportunities for eligible international employees through sponsorship routes, supporting skilled workers to develop their careers within the organisation.
