Last year Helen led a piece of work called the “Step Up Programme”.  This is a great opportunity for staff who are interested in learning about managing people or services.  The programme covers:

• leading service development including strategic thinking, planning and change management skills
• leading teams
• managing service delivery, performance and risks

You may be interested in one or all of these areas.  There are 5 staff in the programme currently.

Quotes from some of the current participants:

“I thought it might be useful to see what happens in a management role, and help my professional development”

 “[I] wanted to stretch myself in my current non-management role. It seemed a very good opportunity to try something different, out of the everyday norm”

 “The flexibility of the programme: you can pick and choose which areas are of interest, and focus on them”

 “A great opportunity to try something new. The programme is what you make it”

 If you think this opportunity is something you are interested in as part of your mahi tahi, please contact Helen, me or your manager to hear more about it.  More information about the programme is here.
