Being a development worker

Wednesday 30 November 2011, London

If you are brand new to development work and supporting groups or are coming back to development work after time away and need a refresher, this course is ideal for you. It goes back to the basics of development work and includes:

• defining the difference between community and development work
• identifying the personal and professional qualities and competencies of a development worker, and giving you information to access the Skild competency framework to evaluate
• your personal skills
• how to effectively communicate with groups and organisations to establish roles, responsibilities and boundaries and understand what activities a development worker would undertake with them
• evaluating the impact of ethical dilemmas development workers may encounter
• providing information to help you access the support and resources available.

The course will also put being a development worker into the context of the wider voluntary and community sector.
