Fully funded coaching opportunity for social care

We are offering two fully funded, in person workshops for colleagues in Social Care who have an interest in coaching and would like to develop their skills. The dates for these workshops are 29th February and 7th March and the venue is Buckfast Abbey Conference Centre. The focus will be on career coaching to enable people to build their career within their organisation. The workshops will be led by the South West Leadership and Talent Team.

In these workshops, the South West Leadership & Talent team will introduce participants to fundamental coaching skills and Scope for Growth. Coaching fundamentals includes understanding the power of contracting, listening and asking insightful questions in order to support individuals to achieve their goals. Scope for Growth is a new career conversation tool, which promotes an inclusive career conversation and provides an opportunity for everyone to take ownership of their own development and career aspirations, whatever those maybe. In our session, we will introduce participants to the framework and support them to reflect on their next career steps.

This person-centred framework supports those who want to develop within their current role, as well as those ready to take their next career step within their own organisation; putting colleagues in the driving seat of their career development. During the session, participants will be given an opportunity to test out their coaching skills in a safe space and practise these through utilising the Scope for Growth career conversation tool. Professionals working in every social care setting should feel equally supported to develop their skills, achieve their goals, progress their careers, and be the best they can be.
