I have just started a new role within care, I will be doing supervisions. What sort of questions should I start with?

Starting a new role in social care can be daunting, especially if you’re new to supervisions. Supervisions are an important part of the role, as they provide an opportunity for you to give feedback and support to your team.

When starting out, it’s important to ask open-ended questions that will encourage your team to open up and share their thoughts and experiences. Some examples of questions you could ask include:

-How do you feel about your current caseload?
-Do you feel like you have enough support from your colleagues?
-What do you find most challenging about your job?
-What do you think we could do to improve the team’s work?

Asking questions like these will help you to get a better understanding of your team’s work and how they’re feeling. It’s also important to give feedback and praise where it’s due, so that your team knows that you’re supportive and care about their work.
