Team Manager Review

Team Manager in supported older persons housing, line manage a team of four, part time and full time staff. Including 1-2-1s, annual appraisal, deal any staff issues, run team meetings, budgets, health and safety, work with external agencies i'e social services.

Developed my emotional intelligence further. How to have challenging conversations, How to set smart objectives and how to handle performance issues.

Struggled at first but now have a better understanding of how the course flows so am able to enjoy the experience more. Picked up some good ideas and developing further existing skills as a result of the apprenticeship.

I have found some of the activities don't always flow in line with some workshops which can cause some confusion. but overall well structured I prefer the remote workshops as these seem more focused and less tendency to go off on a tangent.

A lot, they allow us the time away from out job to concentrate on work needed to complete the course.

Meeting regularly with my tutor, she responds to emails quite promptly and fully answers any queries I have.

It provides me with tools and skills to be a better manager. Particularly in situations that are new to me (I took a 15 year break from management) or situations I've not always felt comfortable dealing with.

None. Although we do have EDI groups and I'm co chair of our LGBT group.

Yes

It's a better company to work for than most.

Be positive, show your enthusiastic and have common sense Show that you're a team player and demonstrate how you take ownership and responsibility.
