Learning and Development Advisor Review

Coordination of internal and external programmes for development (work experience, functional skills, care certificate). Attending careers events to educate students about apprenticeships and careers in NHS. Facilitating corporate induction, staff events and courses to help development.

I have developed my skills in presentations and organisation. I am gaining new skills in organisational development and looking at the results of staff survey and improving the experience for staff.

I am enjoying my programme so far, there is a lot to learn still but it is nice to have an external person to talk to about my role and support from a different area.

There is a clear goal of where i need to get to and what i need to do each month. It is flexible in helping play to my strengths and see where my knowledge gaps are.

I have regular 1:1s with my manager and she checks in on my progress. It is still early on in my apprenticeship.

I have monthly meetings with my curriculum specialist and I know I can contact him if I have any questions or concerns about the work i have to do.

It is still early, I can see that the end of the training will provide me with the knowledge to back up the skills that I have already acquired over my career and help me develop more

I do not know yet as I have been in my role for 3 months. There have been team days with my team and I know that there are events for apprentices during national apprenticeship week.

Yes

They have a focus on staff development and are trying to see this goal achieved through strategy and development in all parts of the teams around the trust.

Show how your current experiences and skills can be transferrable if needed - I have come from a different sector into this role but was able to show how my skills could transfer and FHFT have helped bring this together with an appropriate apprenticeship.
