What is being bought

Published requirement description

PCH are recruiting a pool of contractors to supplement our in-house team of CHIAs, and they will be appointed by us to a council depending on geography, expertise and availability. Scope the programme of support with the council and design the sessions based on the objectives, whilst tailoring it to the needs of the individual council e.g. how much work the management team have already done with staff, awareness of the process and self-assessment. Undertake, solo, a full day of face to face in person sessions for different front line staff groups, (to be arranged by the council) leading and facilitating the sessions, with an expectation that at least 4x group sessions would be completed in the day.
