I support people in the community, primarily people with a diagnoses of autism, mental health condition or learning disability. This support is focused on independent living skills, social isolation reduction and looking for meaningful activities
Throughout my time here, I have learned how to be self-reliant when lone working, to be flexible with my time and how to work within a support team . I have learned how to complete work plans, risk assessments and how to access training services.
It has been very good to provide a good baseline understanding of the role and the wider social care sector.
Pretty good
My sessions with my tutor have been organised through the main office so that they don't clash with anything else, and I have office time to start/complete assignments.
There is a wide selection of mandatory training that is part of the role, such as conflict resolution, mental health first aid, breakaway and personality disorder training.
Very
There are regular sessions to research the impact of alcohol on inter-team communications.
Yes
Because it's a nice place run by people who try to help their employees.
Do some research before you have an interview.
