Team Manager Development Programme
The Institute of Public Care (IPC), at Oxford Brookes University, has been commissioned to deliver a development programme for social care team managers across Wales.

Powys Business Coaching Pool
Powys County Council currently have approximately 20 internal and associate coaches who act as a sounding board to enable individuals to achieve their goals and overcome personal barriers. All these coaches are qualified and operate within Powys Business Coaching Pool.
A coach can help people become more effective in their roles, achieving promotions, being better leaders or achieving career goals.
A coach is not necessarily someone from your department and may not have any understating of your area of work. They are, however, experts in asking the right questions to enable you to discover for yourself what steps you need to take to achieve success.
