Workforce Matters event – 6 October

‘Leadership in Social Care – Supporting you to recognise and develop your Leadership Role’

Scottish Care’s Workforce Matters is delighted to invite you to join us for our next workforce event being held on the 6th October 2021 between 10am and 2pm over MS Teams.

This event will focus on the importance of Social Care Leadership and is titled ‘Leadership in Social Care – Supporting you to recognise and develop your Leadership Role’ and will aim to highlight the vital qualities inherent in leadership skills, attributes and capabilities.  The event will also examine how these skills can be seen throughout the social care workforce and not only in management positions within the sector.

We will be joined on the day by colleagues from the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) who will be delivering sessions on ‘23 Things Leadership’and ‘Leading in a Crisis’ which we hope will be of significant interest.  We will also share with you plans to use our leadership resources and activities to support staff wellbeing following the work undertaken by the whole social care workforce in the response to the COVID pandemic.

This event will give an overview of SSSC leadership resources that are available for free for all social care organisations and how they can be best implemented to train and upskill the workforce to enhance their leadership skills.

A panel session will also take place which will give space for care providers to discuss their approaches to embedding leadership within their organisations in the sharing of good practice throughout the sector.

Further information for the event including the programme for the day will be available shortly, please contact [email protected] to express your interest in this event.

We look forward to seeing you there.
