I believe the most important qualities for an effective trainer is to be approachable and supportive. A trainer should be able to engage with any learner and create a safe learning environment. In addition to this, a trainer should also ensure that learners feel supported and guided throughout their entire learning and development, supporting them to reach their full potential and set goals.

I believe my own training style to be relaxed though professional. Throughout any training I like to balance different learning methods in order to keep learners motivated. I achieve this through the use of images, videos, group work and practical application. I have found that using a variety of methods keeps learners engaged and are less likely to lose interest compared to only looking at slides.

I work for IMT Medical as it has great meaning to me. Whilst I was working for the NHS Ambulance Service, I assisted IMT’s Director with his plans in building his vision of IMT Medical even down to the design of the logo, IMT’s Director had a big vision to support the NHS and all those who require private ambulance services and training. Before I took on a permanent role with IMT, I assisted alongside others by setting them up and putting in place what they required to become CQC registered, I also provided training to their first ambulance members of staff in order for them to carry out their first jobs. As IMT became fully established, I was offered a full time role as their Clinical Manager which then through time developed into the position of National Clinical Compliance Manager for a company of over 150 members of staff. Whilst being in this role I have never stepped away from training and I balance both of these roles and responsibilities and maintain my CPD and own education in order to provide the highest standard.
