Overview of Role

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

5/5
Managing a team of 60 staff and 46 residents

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5
Changed the appenticeship provider after we commenced our apprenticeship and changed tutor without even telling me. The work the initial tutor marked at distinction level is now being returned to us by our new tutor as there isn't enough information in it, as you can imagine we are not happy about this.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5
Legislation

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5
First tutor obviously not been providing us with enough information and marking our assignments wrong.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
My manager supports me massively and will help with anything she is asked to do.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

3/5
Again not great as not been taught up to standard

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5
I feel I already know my job role very well as I have 15 plus years in a managerial role and 31 years in care.
I know more about legislation now after covering it in my course.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

1/5
None
