Care Assistant Review

My Job role is to care for the elderly and clients with dementia, I provide personal care, support clients to eat and drink, and I assist with general duties in the care setting e.g. waste management. I also help coordinate with doctors and Nurses and assist clients on visits.

I am learning how to give medications and I have advanced my knowledge in the home. I now know the legislation behind the actions we take.

I enjoy it a lot so far it's very rewarding and actually make me feels smarter. The work set is easy to follow and I enjoy sharing answers and results with my co-workers also taking the programme.

The programme is well set out and follows a good path. I can see how I am progressing as it goes along.

My employer is there if I need her but I have found the support from my co-workers and my assessor to be more than enough. I fully understand what I am asked, although it is nice to know there are learning materials my manager has should i need them.

My training provider gives me a lot of support, and explains things very effectively.

I know so much more about my job and role thanks to my qualifcation. I am learning all the time and feel my clients respond better to me thanks to my programme as I can empathise with them better.

I have been on one only.

Yes

My company is really personal and family run, the management believe in their team and your success is their success.

Be yourself, be honest and be ready to become part of not just a workplace but a family.
