Starting points
Every apprentice joining Arden undertakes initial assessments in English and maths but also in the form of a skill scan you completed at onboarding. This was to assess your baseline starting point on joining the programme which then helps us to shape your delivery and personalise the curriculum. We will review your learning against the KSBs every 6 months to track progress and look at where you feel you need more support and where you can be challenged to go further!
We'd love to get to know more about you, why you've joined the programme, what your current role is and ultimately what are your next steps and future aspirations. Please complete the sections below in readiness for our meeting. Only you and I will view this document and it will be stored securely in your Bud profile under the activity called 'Stretch and Challenge Plan.'
Apprentice Name | |
Apprenticeship | Senior Leader L7 HealthCare - Rosalind Franklin |
Employer | East London Foundation Trust |
Job role | Out of Hours Matron |
Employment/Career/Progression Objectives |
What is your motivation for completing this apprenticeship? How will this Apprenticeship help you in your current role? To be able to develop my knowledge, attitudes, behaviour, and skills so that I can lead a positive innovation and a more positive transformation within the health care settings I currently work in. |
About Your Current Role - link to skill scan |
Think back to completion of the skill scan at onboarding. Look at appendix 1 for the full list of KSBs and comment below on areas where you have scored 1 - 3 and make a note of support you may need to gain exposure to those areas of the standard in the workplace. Who will need to be involved in supporting you? Your line manager or a workplace mentor?
My senior colleagues, my line manager and colleagues. Following my skill scan completion where I have scored myself 1-3. I will identify the teams / department that I will need to shadow to gain exposure, insight, knowledge, and skills. E.g I will shadow finance team in my organisation to gain an in-depth knowledge about budget. I have listed in my skill scans my senior colleagues that I will be able to shadow to support me to gain exposure to the areas of the standard in the workplace. What about those areas you feel more confident with? These are quick wins for you to be focusing on building your workplace evidence for. What are these areas? Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've consistently demonstrated my strong communication skills. I've delivered presentations, engaged in group discussions, and communicated complex ideas effectively to diverse audiences. My ability to clearly convey information and actively listen to others has been crucial in my leadership role and in my interactions with colleagues. I understand the importance of collaboration, and my adaptability and willingness to collaborate have enabled me to thrive within diverse teams. I will continue to develop on my skills, knowledge daily, get feedback from colleagues & patients and I will regularly reflect. |

This section will help your coach to shape you learning plan and guide you in the right direction to meet your aspirational grade! I currently have not identified any support now. However, as the course progresses and I identify any support from Arden, I will notify my coach for the support. |
About Your Aspirations/next steps/progression |
What are your future career aspirations once you have completed your Apprenticeship? What is your ultimate destination? Promotion, wage rise, different role, further study? Studying the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Practice and Chartered Manager status, will help me accelerate my career to the next level. This course will give me the opportunity to become an effective and reflective learner, encouraging the development of transferable skills relevant to the attainment of individual goals. This includes skills in self-assessment, reflection, awareness, and management, as well as personal development planning and communication. Studying this course, I will be able to bring immediate positive and productive changes to my team(s), organisations, services, and service users in areas such as increasing staff morale, improving service user experience, effective service redesign, reduction of waste, and more efficient use of resources. By the end of this course, I will be looking at progression into a senior role. As I am currently a band 8a, I will be aiming at applying for a band 8b role with my knowledge, skills and experience and definitely, increased wage. |
