  During my time at HC-One, my role was to facilitate training and development of new and existing care home colleagues through group training sessions, one-to-one, bespoke training and supporting blended learning approaches (including an award-winning Learning Management System).

• Trainer

  • Nov 2015 - Dec 2017

  This full-time training role centred around training delivery. This involved both scheduled courses as well as courses at customer premises; typically on First-Aid subjects but also Fire Marshal and Moving and Handling courses. An enormously enjoyable and engaging role, relevant to both my background in Health and Social Care as well as my PGCE training qualification. This role has given me fantastic opportunities for self-development and CPD, and has taught me the importance of using approved sources of information as a basis for teaching and learning.

  Following my placement at the college from 2011 - 2013, I was offered this exciting role as lecturer in music and drama at entry level. I thoroughly enjoyed this role and the various challenges that came with being quickly immersed into the busy and energetic teaching environment mid-year as a newly qualified PGCE PCET teacher. By far, my favourite part was getting to know the students and helping them to explore and engage in the process of developing aspects of their characters through music and drama.
