Recovery Support Worker Review

Working with Service users supporting them in their day to day activities on their journey to recovery, either with regards to providing medication, or emotional support. admitting clients to the building taking them through the process of bringing them into the building during what can be a challenging time for the individual. Clients are also supported by buying them items twice weekly at a local supermarket, or going on daily walks of up to 40-50 mins.

My time on the apprenticeship can be split into two parts firstly with my original course supervisor who exhibited little interest or desire to share or expand the knowledge base I had and was happy to accept work which was not up to standard, then the course supervisor who finished the course with me took over and the difference in standard was exponential, she not only encouraged me to submit better work but also improved my knowledge within a care setting.

As with the last question the first half of the course I struggled to engaged due to having little to no engagement back however once the new course tutor took over i enjoyed the programme much more, however I was left with somewhat of an uphill battle due to the neglect from the previous tutor which was overcome with much hard work by myself but with much encouragement and guidance from the tutor who took over.

The structure to the programme was never in doubt at any point only the delivery, which was much changed under a much improved and enthusiastic tutorship, where all deadlines and expediencies where clearly laid out and expected to be met, all meetings where set in advance and times and meetings where kept unless good notice was given that it could not be. all aspects of the course and structure where clearly laid out to me once the right person to deliver the course was on the case.

the only point of support from my employer is with my manager who is supportive he has been of great support, however I have had no other support from my employer however I have not sought any assistance either so there my be more support available to me that i have not looked into or tried to access, however i have had good support from my colleges and my manager who have helped me with support throughout the course.
