Supervision

Supervision happens in a number of ways, including one-to-one supervision from a senior member of staff, team meetings, and appraisals.

Personal development at Prior’s Court is about allowing access to quality thinking and conversation, allowing our teams to thrive and perform at their best. 

Regular check-in meetings happen between staff and their managers. This is a time to discuss staff members’ goals for the year, their wellbeing, training opportunities and more.
