A Management programme for Life Path Trust.
This session looks at defining what we offer both to citizens who are supported by the organisation and to the staff who support them.
To be an effective manager you need to know what the product. In Social Care the measure of success is often described as outcomes, but what are they and how do we know when we have achieved them.
The work we need staff to achieve can also be described in terms of outcomes and the session looks at how we prepare a job description and person specification in terms of outcomes and ‘one page profile’.

Editor's Notes
Observation – what did people see

– Internal (to us and personal)
- External

Session format
Describe
Our expectation of managers
Eg staff plan
Complete feeling sheet side 1.
Complete feeling sheet side 1.
Have you got your research
We are going to use it throughout the day.
1 Outcome from each person. – record on flip chart
Are these outcomes?
Look at what outcomes are and where they fit
Flip chart ideas for each part.
Give Bread example
Concentrate on Outcome and Impact
Describe how bread has a different outcome and impact depending where you are on the hierarchy
In groups agree outcomes from your research that we offer and put 1 outcome on each postit note.
Need to be short and precise.
Have flip charts and group by service. Managers / team leaders for each service to take responsibility for their chart.
Support / Day Opportunities / Work Opportunities / Respite / Holidays / PCP
Check if any should be in more than 1 service area and do general flip chart.
Group items on flip charts
Do we have outcomes for people other than citizens
What are they and for who?
All outcomes need to be smart
Achievable is not pushing ourselves we want objectives that are ambitious.
Recognise that is we are ambitious we may not always achieve
So long as we know the reasons and learn from it that is OK
Need outcome based job description
We need to be more interested in achieving things than the process.
So long as process is legal, moral and with in our values it is OK
That means people will be measured by results.
Work in groups of three, for 15 mins.
Teams give feed back and then write up on main flip chart.
Then all groups will need to agreed what areas are required. These will be written individually on to a flip chart and placed around the room.
Each team of three have slips of paper with outcomes from their work written on them.
Each group will make the outcomes SMART and read as an outcome. Approx. 20 mins on this section.
Feed back = When they have rewritten the outcomes they will place them under each area title (on the file chart )of the job description of manager and Team Leader. But they have to get the whole groups approval!
Slit into groups 3 groups – give them hand out of current person specification for Managers and Team Leaders
They check to see if their one page profile is a tool that can be used in recruitment
They will then make three ideas for Managers
They will then make three ideas for team leaders Approx. 15 mins
Feed back = these ideas will make a new one page profile that can be used as an assessment tool in recruitment
We have defined what we want - well almost
Potential staff will be looking at what is in it for them.
These are the clear benefits
We offer good quality and recognised training
Need to work on team work – comes in later session
Staff need to be valued.
We need to say thank you
A key to flexibility
A valuable tool for managers
There are benefits for both employer and employee.
Work best when both sides get what they want from the agreement.
(Providing it is legal!)
People may want to work 80 hrs but it is not legal and safe
No legal definition of zero hours. There are 3 possible work types:
Employee
Turns up when employer tells them
Employer gives then tools for the job
Contractor
Provides a service
Does not have to be done by a specific person
Usually provides their own tools
3. Worker
Some where in between –
LPT treats zero hrs staff as employees
What’s important to me – individuals complete
Complete personal learning logs
Flip chart group log
Complete feeling sheet side 2
If citizen or staff journey have not come out in previous then explain
Next time we will be looking at matching which includes interviews.
So to get you thinking.
