I currently work 2 days a week and I currently run 3 modules on the Health and Social Care Foundation Degree and Assistant practitioner course focusing on mental health and leadership and management. I have an academic advisor role where I have individual responsibility for 30 students in order to help them develop the skills necessary to deal with undertaking a full time degree.
Having worked in education for over 14 years I have vast experience in both teaching and assessing students/apprentices. I have a robust knowledge of the End Point Assessment Process (EPA) having helped develop the Health and Social Care Foundation Degree Apprenticeship Healthcare Assistant Practitioner and meeting with employers. I have a Post Graduate Certificate in Education and the ENB 998 (Teaching & Assessing in Clinical Practice), which is equivalent to the Nursing Midwifery Council’s mentorship/assessor qualification. I use the underpinning theory gained through these qualifications to carry out effective teaching, learning and assessment methods. I have an extensive knowledge of developing and assessing students/apprentices across a range of levels using reflective journals, professional interviews and observations. I have a wealth of clinical experience in both secure and community settings. One of my proudest achievements is setting up a supported living company in 2014 working with individuals with a range of mental health needs.
