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

On a daily basis, I complete rotas, take phone calls from social workers, staff, clients and other healthcare professionals. I deal with emails, monitor our online care planning system, visit clients, complete supervisions and appraisals with staff. Liase with local authorities, take on packages and speak to other healthcare professionals.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have from my apprenticeship, most definitely. Although I have only been doing it for a short period of time, I feel I developed skills, this is logged in my journal. I have in particular looked more in the the care act and other health social care acts to develop.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I receive support from the training team and my manager if I requested it. My manager gets involved within the course and interacts on mine and my tutors meeting to review my progress. If I felt I needed added on extra support I would simply ask and be aware I would get the support I needed.
