Building a portfolio
Guidance and signposting to resources for managers and educators to support them in encouraging the use of Turas Professional portfolio amongst healthcare support workers.
Benefits of building a portfolio
Creating and maintaining a professional portfolio offers significant benefits for support workers, serving as a powerful tool to showcase their skills, experience, and personal growth. A well-organised portfolio not only highlights qualifications and achievements but also provides evidence of competencies through training certificates, reflective practices and feedback. This can be especially valuable during appraisal reviews, career progression discussions, or job applications.
Moreover, the process of building a portfolio encourages self-reflection, helping support workers recognise their strengths, identify areas for development, and take ownership of their professional journey. Ultimately, a portfolio empowers support workers to keep track of their progress and show the value they bring to their role.
We encourage managers and educators to explore the Turas Professional Portfolio guides, which offer tailored support for learning and career growth. There are two guides available: one designed specifically for managers and educators, and another aimed at helping support workers use Turas Professional Portfolio effectively in their roles.
In addition, there is a wide range of helpful resources to guide support workers in creating and developing their portfolios on the Turas Professional Portfolio page so why not share this with your teams and encourage support workers to explore it themselves.
