PRTL Event goes down well in Leeds
The Synergy Group recently held its inaugural training seminar Supervision skills for social workers at their offices in Leeds.
Having surveyed over 200 Social Workers over the 2nd quarter of 2009 Synergy established that there is a real need for PRTL events across the country.
57% of those who took part agreed that they found it ‘very difficult’ to find PRTL events that fit around their working hours. In response to this the Social Care recruitment team at The Synergy Group decided that they would hold a schedule of weekend training events aimed at QSWs looking to keep their training and learning up-to-date in order to re-register with the GSCC after the initial three-year period.

The objective was to recruit 10 candidates for Trainee Housing Information Officer roles at Medway Council, and as usual, the Kickstart team didn’t disappoint.
