Althea Voutt

Lead Adult Care Worker apprentice, Black Swan Care Group

Althea currently works as a Senior Support Worker with Black Swan Care Group, providing high quality standards of care and support in their homes. Althea began her care journey within community care, aiding the Deputy Manager with their duties before progressing to Senior Support Worker.

Althea completed her Level 2 Adult Care Worker apprenticeship in 2020 as the Covid-19 pandemic began, leading her to pause her progression before it became possible to progress to her Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker apprenticeship with Paragon Skills.

Having now completed her Level 3 apprenticeship, Althea is motivated to continue her learning and career in Care, stating that you’re never too old to learn.

Apprenticeships are good to encourage people to learn more information about their role and understand why we do the things we do

Althea’s thoughts on her apprenticeship

Althea values the way her apprenticeship encourages individuals to explore not only the details of their roles but also the broader context behind the tasks they are asked to perform. By promoting a deeper understanding of why certain things are done in particular ways, the apprenticeship has helped her see the bigger picture and grasp the importance of her work. This process has been eye-opening for Althea, allowing her to recognise how much she has learned and how much expertise she has developed.

Athea’s motivation and enthusiasm for continual learning and progression has inspired her to take an even more proactive approach in seeking knowledge and expanding her capabilities, ensuring she continues to grow both professionally and personally. Althea is now continuing to a Level 4 apprenticeship in the hopes of a promotion and progression within the Care sector in the near future.
