The Essex Care Association Women's Leadership Network, kindly sponsored by St Helena Hospice, has been established to create a supportive space for women. This network allows us to champion one another and grow in skills and confidence. Our goal is to support our current managers and leaders while nurturing the next generation of managers and leaders in social care.
Social Care is a very female dominated sector, up to a certain point, yet so many of us possess all of the skills required to progress if we wish to, so what is preventing the progression – Confidence? Time? Already feeling stretched enough with work and home life? A touch of imposter syndrome?
Management can also be a very lonely place, so, we are thrilled to be involved in getting the Women in Leadership group off the ground as a way to address and support each other with all of the above.
- Open to all current and aspiring female managers/leaders who are ECA members.
- We will meet Bi-monthly moving to Quarterly after 6 months.
- Venue will move across the county and be a combination of online and face to face events, flexing between late afternoon and early evening.
- We will invite guest speakers.
- Together we will build new skills, broadening perspective and understanding people better.
