Trainee Assistant Site Manager Review

My role as a Trainee Assistant Site Manager involves many different tasks. Working closely with the Site Management team on the my Current Construction Site which is located in Baldock Hertfordshire. I carry out, Site Inductions, ensure Sub Contractors have signed on the RAMS before commencing any work, Weekly Fire checks, Toolbox talks and Site observations, occasionally update the Weekly Report. . In addition making sure everyone follows the sites rules and follows all SHEQ.

I have learnt to be more confident, speak out more to express my views and opinions. I completed my 3 day First Aid at work which will need to to be refreshed in the next 6 months, Completed the Site Management and Safety Training Scheme, Learnt many new things about the Contruction processes and how quality is important. Maintaing, keeping all records up to date. I'm looking to complete the free Temporary Works Awarness Course.

I enjoy working for Working for the Company McCarthy Stone been employed since 2018, previoulsly work with them via agency for many years. The Current Site Team, I have worked with them previous on another prioject. The company is always wiling to asssit and promote further training to assist employees to progess. I have spent the last two weeks completing Unit 1 for my Level 4 / HNC, The team at Learning Skills were very friendly and welcoming as well the other learners, we all got on, and was very enjoyable.

This is slightly difficult to answer, I have only been on the Programme with Learning Skills Partnership for the last 2/3 + months was previously with Geason until the funding got withdrawn. The Induction process was straight forward, seemed to take a while to process before actually got stated and had first session with Mentor / Tutor. Since then I have been given a few Assignents to start / complete as some I had previoulsly started with Geasons, The Assignments breifs seem to be orgranised and set out well and understandable, better than how some of Geasons were. Based on the two weeks completing unit 1, The support and advice from Mentor / Tutor and the team has been good very helpful.

The support I receive from my Employer McCarthy Stone is really good. The Site I am currenty working on, as anwered in a previous question the Site Managentment Team are always willing to help / mentor me showing me and giving me more responsibillites, the door is always open if I need any guidance with problems. My employers general attitude is good and they like to see employees progress and there is loads of accessibilty to support from all departments within the Company.

The last two weeks completing Unit 1 working towards completeing my qualification was good. The Support I recieved from Tutor / Advisor was good, helpful and gave guidance with problems. The general attitiude in supporting me is good, good to meet the Tutor / advisor face to face rather that just over a call. Completed Unit 1 and diccussed what to do / start next for the next assignment and said any problems just send a message, but will be in contact within the coming weeks for a catch up and run the assignment and give support.

As previously said in another question, not really had many sessions with my current provider apart the last two weeks block. By completing the qualification throught the training provider helps. What I learn by completing the assignments gives a better insight to the construction processes, whats happenes before construction work commences, what different roles are invloved. What I learn from from apprenticeship does help with some of things I carry out on a daily basis this could be to improve the way something is carried out or could have learned a better way.

McCarthy Stone have yearly Kick Off Rally events for the different regions at the start of every new financial year. Run many Charity events that employees can get involved in, some employees are training for a 3 peaks challenge. During Covid 19 we could register to be call pals to people or help the most vulnerable etc. We have our own Ilearning portal.
