Recruitment and retention have become two of the greatest issues in our sector and we have devised this approach to support your organsation to grow and develop great practice staff, taking them from consciously incompetent to flourishing reflective practitioners within their first year of service.
We will work with you to develop an online learning system, tailored to your setting which leaves you with a development framework for staff that will serve your clients’ needs for many years to come.
Developing practitioners is a complex and challenging part of leading social organisations, with extensive knowledge and skills development needed to make them successful in delivering social change.
At SociaLed we focus on the skills your teams need to achieve that impact, supporting them to cultivate the emotionally intelligent, trauma-informed approaches that are essential to social change. See below for some of the ways we can help.
Your First Year
Inspiring Social
Practice
Offering you a range of training modules individually or as a full course we will support your practice staff to develop emotionally intelligent, trauma-informed support for those that they serve. The sessions cover areas, such as practical implementation of trauma-informed principles, relationship-based practice, coaching and motivational interviewing skills, risk management, and reflective skills.
In developing these modules we have recognised that we cultivate enormous knowledge in our practice teams, and our aim is to give them the skills to put that knowledge into practice for greater impact.
Supporting and developing those who have received support to support others is an empowering activity. Not only does it build capacity in your organisation, it also enables those we work for to go from surviving to thriving. SociaLed associates have hands-on experience of building these approaches and can support your organisation to do the same.
At SociaLed we have several associates with lived experience of a range of societal issues, our work aims to mediate the gap created by organisational systems ensuring that change is an ‘us’ not ‘them’ situation.
