Team leader and supervisor programme
The Team leader/supervisor programme is aimed at first line managers, team leaders, and supervisors who are directly involved with day-to-day management and work allocation.
About the programme
The programme lasts for 15 months and represents a time commitment of 6 hours per week, which must take place in (paid) work time.
These 6 hours - called 'off the job' time - will be spent as follows:
- One day per month in person, on campus, focusing on these core modules:
- Awareness of self
- Management of self
- Decision-making
- Leading people
- Managing people
- Building relationships
- Communication
- Operational management
- Project management
- Finance
- Online learning between modules, to help consolidate the learning and prepare for the next module
- Engaged in work at either team, faculty/directorate or university-level work. This work will be new to the learner and enable them to build their university profile, support important and strategic activities and compile evidence for their assessment portfolio
- One session (around 2.5 hours) per month with their Action Learning Set
- Learner reviews and tripartite meetings, with their POD tutor and manager
Learners must attend all components and sessions of the programme.
Upon successful completion of the programme, learners leave with a formal, nationally-recognised qualification, which provides evidence they have the knowledge, skills and behaviours to perform well as a people manager.
Notice:
All learners will remain on their existing terms and conditions of employment because they are accessing this apprenticeship programme as part of their continuing professional development (CPD).
