Social care leadership development programme

SCIE is delighted to be running a third year of the highly successful Social Care Leadership Development Programme.

The programme will again be run by The King’s Fund, Birmingham University and The Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.

The programme aims to help people to lead within the challenges of the changing face of social care policy.

To compliment the move towards the development of the new Social Care Skills Academy, this year’s programme is open to senior managers in adult social care, with either lead responsibility for commissioning or an equivalent provider role.

The 2009–10 programme welcomes applications from:

• potential directors of adult social services and potential directors or chief executives in provider organisations
• black and minority ethnic applicants
• private sector provider applicants.

Places are available to people who use services and carers who either individually or in user- and carer-led organisations are responsible for commissioning services.

Intakes will take place in September 2008, November 2008 and January 2009.

For further information please contact Elizabeth Scott on 0207 089 6840 or email elizabeth.scott@scie.org.uk.
