About this course
This course will explore the essential elements of what it means to be a successful IPS supervisor or team leader, equipping you with the skills to effectively guide your service towards high fidelity.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of your role and responsibilities – learning how to lead your team, how to access available resources, and support employment specialists in delivering high-quality outcomes.
This course assumes you already have a solid understanding of IPS, either through previous training (such as Doing what works) or experience as an employment specialist. Leading for excellence builds on that foundation to help you step confidently into a leadership role.
The training will cover:
- The key success factors in IPS and what drives high performance.
- The roles and responsibilities of an IPS supervisor.
- Applying a strengths-based approach to get the best from your team.
- Techniques for coaching and supervising employment specialists.
- Managing difficult conversations.
- Quality and performance management practices to achieve high fidelity.
- Partnership working and building effective relationships with stakeholders to support your IPS services.
When to attend this training:
We recommend attending this training 1–2 months after starting your role. This allows you time to gain practical experience as an IPS supervisor, enabling you to contribute real-life examples during the course. Before attending Leading for excellence, you should complete the Doing what works training or have a solid understanding of IPS principles and fidelity to the model.
An additional course is available to develop your skills in providing supervision of employment specialists. View our courses brochure to see the details of the course: Conducting IPS supervisions.
