Leadership Skills!
Moses secured a distinction in his Leader in Adult Care apprenticeship standard (level 5). Here is what he had to say!
“The apprenticeship was for Leader Adult Care of which after completion I should be able to support staff, improve the quality of care, promote person centred care and ensure that safeguarding, health and safety, medication and CQC standards are consistently maintained. I also hope to contribute to the development of my organisation by supporting audits, staff supervision and continuous improvement, etc. I will also continue to develop professionally.
I learnt about the above-named skills, mainly about how to execute them and achieve positive outcomes for the people we support. My confidence, knowledge and leadership skills have improved. I am able to give some informed advice to my team and people we support.
I am able to support my colleagues when they are not sure about the task or procedure and encourage them to ask questions rather than make assumptions. I find I am sharing more knowledge like sharing about safeguards, medication, communication and care plans. I feel I am better at leading by example by demonstrating good communication, respect, dignity and encourage staff positive examples.
I remain alert to signs of abuse, neglect or change in behaviour and report concerns according to safeguard procedures advocating for people, and promote well-being.
I would like to thank my tutor who was patient and approachable and always took time to explain areas for improvement. This improved my confidence and helped me apply what I learned to my everyday practice.
I would like to thank my assessor for continuous support and constructive feedback. The assessment process encouraged me to reflect on my practice and demonstrate how my knowledge could be applied in real life situations; this encouraged me to continue developing my leadership skills.
I am grateful to my employer for giving me the opportunity to undertake this apprenticeship. This experience has helped me to develop professionally and has increased my confidence in taking on leadership responsibilities.
I would like to thank my colleagues for their teamwork, encouragement and willingness to share their knowledge and experiences with me. Their support has encouraged me to communicate more effectively, work collaboratively and reflect on my own practice.
I am very grateful to everyone who contributed to my apprenticeship journey. The apprenticeship has not only increased my knowledge but has also strengthened my confidence, leadership skills and commitment to providing safe, person-centred and high-quality care.”
