Supervision & Appraisals for Team Leaders
2-Hour CHCT Leadership, Culture & Improvement Workshop
Summary
This practical 3-hour workshop is designed to help Team Leaders, Senior Carers and new managers carry out effective supervision and appraisal conversations that support staff performance, accountability, confidence and development.
In care settings, supervision and appraisal should not be treated as paperwork exercises or annual formalities. When used well, they are powerful leadership tools that help staff understand expectations, reflect on practice, identify development needs, and feel supported in their role.
Many Team Leaders are expected to supervise staff without always being shown how to structure the conversation, give constructive feedback, set clear goals, or follow up concerns in a fair and professional way.
This workshop focuses on the practical skills needed to make supervision and appraisal conversations purposeful, supportive and effective. It explores how to prepare for supervision, structure discussions, give feedback, agree actions, support staff development, and use supervision as part of a wider culture of quality, accountability and continuous improvement.
Delegates will leave with a clearer understanding of how to use supervision and appraisals to strengthen staff confidence, improve practice, and support better outcomes for people receiving care.
