Buckinghamshire managers
‘Being a Buckinghamshire Manager’ is a new leadership development programme for Buckinghamshire Council.
As a large, diverse and complex organisation, we recognise the need to provide tailored support to enable all our managers to grow, develop and thrive.
This programme will include a number of defined tailored support packages and development opportunities based on the needs, experience, and ambitions of individual managers.
Pathways with tailored offers will include:
- All managers – Manager Essentials
- First-time and junior managers
- Experienced managers ready to take the next step up, and aspiring leaders
- Executive development for senior leaders.
There will also be opportunities to gain accredited management and leadership qualifications, for example Level 3, 5 (degree level) and 7 (Masters level) management apprenticeships.
