Skills for Care launches two-month campaign focused on developing everyday leaders

Skills for Care’s latest campaign, running throughout June and July, is titled ‘Everyday leadership’. The goal of this campaign is to help more leaders and managers recognise what good leadership looks like, as well as support the idea that it’s not just senior staff and managers who can demonstrate leadership skills in the workplace, and that everyday acts of leadership, allyship and support can be essential parts of what makes a well-led and successful care provider.

Great leadership doesn’t just shape how care is delivered; it shapes the culture around it. It creates environments where staff feel genuinely supported, valued, and heard, enabling them to perform at their best and provide the highest quality support. Skills for Care’s most recent ASC-WDS data shows that stable and effective leadership is a critical factor in determining staff retention, as well as CQC ratings.

At its core, everyday leadership is about staff stepping up to take an opportunity to make your care organisation better. It’s the confidence to share ideas, innovate, raise concerns about poor practice, or guide a colleague through a difficult situation. These behaviours are vital to creating safe, effective, and compassionate care environments. Workers who demonstrate leadership qualities are using their initiative to make decisions, support others, and take accountability for their own wellbeing and development.

Over the course of this eight-week period, the campaign will share insights, resources and thought leadership pieces from Skills for Care staff and experts out in the sector. Stay updated using the #EverydayLeadership on LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Facebook, as well as our regular newsletters and communications.
