Animal Centre Supervisor Review

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.

I have learnt how to communicate better and to pay attention to the finer details in the background working in animal rescue.

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.

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.

I get a working day in the week to complete apprenticeship work which is helpful.

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.

Training days for items I am involved in such as biosecurity, social activities outside work with colleagues and being part of a wellbeing network

You learn a lot on the job but also have opportunities to take part in different programmes to further your education and knowledge.

Keep an open mind and be honest on your views and expectations.
