Introducing our new Leadership Academy

Helping colleagues to develop their leadership skills + more about ivolve Academies

As part of our strategy to be an Amazing Place to Work, we've developed ivolve learning Academies.

The first of our Academies are already live, giving colleagues a range of routes to gain nationally recognised qualifications and essential skills. We combine our internal expertise with some of the industry's leading training and development providers.

At ivolve we're supporting colleagues to grow their careers in all sorts of ways. Many of our leaders started as support workers and have progressed to leading large teams or specialising in other roles in our functional teams.

This month we’re launching our Leadership Academy

Our bespoke Leadership Development Programme focuses on leadership skills to complement the technical skills needed for a senior role.  We will take colleagues from being aspiring managers through to preparing to be an Area Manager or Functional Leader. Colleagues will be able to sign up for a programme of professional development leading to solid skills and knowledge to be ready for the next stage in their careers.

Each stage is an 8 – 13 month programme, learning new skills in a series of workshops.

Grow – This is for colleagues who are ready to be Aspiring Managers. It includes Support Workers, Team Leaders, Deputy Managers or Functional team leads.

Manage – This stage is for existing Managers who want to develop their leadership skills as well as colleagues who have become Aspiring Managers.

ivolve - this takes skilled Managers to Area Manager/Functional leader level and beyond.

The GROW programme

We’re starting off with the GROW programme which is for Support Workers, Team Leaders, Deputy Managers or Functional team leads who are aspiring managers.
