Career & Personal Development

Personal Development

As a Trust our approach to staff development is the same as for the children and students in our care.  We place equal importance on the behaviours and “how” people carry out their roles as well as the more technical knowledge and skills required, which are always linked back to our Trust Value, Mission and Vision.

Individual personal development areas are usually identified during regular developmental conversations with your line manager or colleagues, or as part of your own self awareness as you strive for continuous improvement in your current role, future career opportunities or as part of our holistic wellbeing approach.  Areas that other colleagues across the Trust have been supported to develop themselves in order to enhance their impact in their roles to help us achieve teaching excellence or operational excellence include:

  • Communication skills
  • Leadership
  • People Management
  • Coaching skills
  • Conducting positive conversations
  • Mental Health First Aider
  • Project management
  • Effective use of MS Teams and other IT
  • Strategies for managing stress and anxiety

Personal development can be achieved through a range of different learning initiatives including, webinars, coach/mentoring, MOOCs and access to other created and curated content to suit your preference.
