Housing Associations Management Development

Housing Associations

As a result of our track record within Local Authorities, particularly within Housing Services, we have in recent years strengthened our reputation for management development within Housing Associations. Recent consultancy projects include working with Operational and Executive Management Teams and tailored training events to help develop employees at all levels work effectively within the organisation and in partnership with others.

Please contact Alison Miles-Jenkins, Managing Director, to talk through how we may be able to help you to deliver superb training and consultancy solutions with less pressure on your budget.

Track Record

Here’s some examples of what our third sector clients has been saying about us:

“Thanks so much for a wonderful two days, your achievement in meeting the needs of a disparate group – in terms of skills and understanding – was excellent. All the feedback that I have had has been positive. We are also delighted with the support material – it is extremely comprehensive and I am really looking forward to reading my copy.”

“West Kent Housing Association was introduced to Alison through the appointment of a new Head of HR and we are delighted to have access to such an engaging trainer. Alison has worked with different teams and groups within the Association to provide a range of bite size training courses for our 2008 ‘Learning at Work Day’. The workshops that Alison delivered included Effective Business Communications, Interviewee Skills, Chairing meeting and Contributing Confidently to Meetings. From needs analysis to course delivery, Alison’s professionalism, knowledge, experience and flexibility resulted in us receiving excellent feedback from participants, which was extremely positive, with all staff reporting that they gained something practical to take away from the workshops or training sessions that they participated in.
Training To Achieve has also carried out some bespoke work with our second tier operational managers in helping them to focus on how they wanted to move into being more strategic as a group and take on, the day to day operational responsibility for delivery of excellent services to our customers.

I would not hesitate to recommend Alison as a highly professional trainer, who works well with people at all levels of the organisation.”

“Just wanted to send you a note to say thanks for your efforts over the last couple of days. It was really interesting and your facilitation and knowledge was first class.

Having been a Director in my last role and now seeing the world from a slightly different perspective again, I find leadership theory and techniques very useful tools.

I look forward to working with you again on the Action Learning sessions.”

Chris Francis Head of Asset Management
