About this course
In this on-line training session, we equip you with the knowledge and skill to get the most out of your supervision sessions to enable you to develop and progress. We use scenarios, role plays and videos to explore what supervision should look like and challenge expectations of supervision.
This training will equip you with tools to help you address areas of your work that are not going well and how to further develop those that are.
We discuss cultural competence and explore the impact that this can have on supervision.
This training will consider supervision within the context of your organisation’s objectives and values.
Target audience: people working in a health or social care setting who want to understand how to use supervision to achieve their career goals, improve their work satisfaction and quality and ow to use supervision to reduce their work stress.
