Job shadowing
Job shadowing is where one person from one work area has the opportunity to work alongside and gain first hand experience of the role, functions and procedures of another work area. It also provides opportunities for guests to learn from more experienced procedures.
To enhance the range of continuous professional development/post registration training and learning opportunities we are keen promote the use of job shadowing across Education and Social Care.
It is anticipated that through observational job shadowing the guest (ie the person doing the shadowing) will be a visitor to the team and spend the shadowing period observing the day to day working of the host (the person being shadowed), where appropriate. The host will provide opportunities for debriefing to ensure both parties benefit from the shadowing period. The period of shadowing will be negotiated and agreed at the time of set up.
