As well as a comprehensive wellbeing package that is available to all employees, Gateshead Council has further cared for its people health through its Making Every Contact Count programme. This enables staff to have conversations around lifestyle topics, to empower behaviour change choices, and to signpost support.
To build team relationships, the Council has arranged several team development days and team building events, including Bongo Bingo. The organisation celebrates World Social Work Day and every year it has a Learning at Work Week, encouraging team building and personal growth.
Alongside providing managers the opportunity to earn a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership in Health & Social Care and an ILM qualification in its Future Aspiring Leaders programme, the Council has a Children’s Social Care programme, with subjects like Management & Leadership in CSC & Early Help, and Working with complex needs & SEND.
