working hand in hand with the prison services
We recognise that in the prison services you are faced with the need to beat and outshine the competition in order to become the provider of choice for high quality, integrated, ‘though the prison gate” offender services.
You seek flexible and effective leadership and management that promotes public confidence and responds to the needs of commissioners – maintaining and continuously improving the existing high levels of performance and pressure on costs.
You also aim to provide direction through diligent, positive leadership that guides improvement of service and satisfies the diverse communities you serve – delivering the best value required by the modernisation agenda
The aspire centre for leadership & management understand that your interests lie not only in effective, efficient and secure offender management, but also in developing and sustaining business continuity in a time of significant structural and organisational change.
We will partner you to develop effective leadership and management which will enable you to create, communicate and implement strategies that reflect these current and other future challenges.
Programmes may be non-accredited or attract nationally recognised qualifications or development awards. In order to provide quality, choice and flexibility, we work with the UK’s two main national and international providers of leadership, management, coaching and mentoring qualifications along with a number of higher education institutions.
how high impact development days can give you a taste of the power of an aspire people development programme
These bespoke events or workshops are intensive, engaging and highly focussed. They provide cutting edge knowledge, practical tools and techniques for immediate impact in the prison services.
Whilst we look forward to discussing your specific needs, here is a selection of workshops relevant to the prison services:
- managing diverse teams
- leadership
- quality and continuous improvement
- stakeholder and partnership working
- appraisals
- communicating effectively using nlp
- managing change
- personal effectiveness
- community cohesion
- coaching and mentoring
- positive psychology and emotional intelligence
Workshops may be stand alone or grouped to produce a structured development programme with or without accreditation. We can deliver you a bespoke high impact development programme unique to your service through aspire's ‘Build Your Own Programme’ option.
how innovative leaders can give the prison service the high performance edge
You need leaders who are highly motivated and empowered to provide excellent service delivery. People who will embrace and champion corporate change whilst identifying and celebrating diversity and performance excellence.
You also seek to enhance public and stakeholder confidence whilst facing an increasingly volatile environment. Only in this way will you beat and outshine any competition.
We have extensive experience in meeting the development needs of leaders at all levels and departments – working with leaders from those aspiring to their first executive officer role to members of the board; from lone workers to those with wider teams.
All aspire’s programmes promote high impact leadership, enabling your leaders to make more effective decisions, drive up performance and maximise staff potential. We achieve this through giving you practical tools, techniques and influencing behaviours that will help you meet the requirements of the best value agenda.
Your leadership development needs can be satisfied through a partnership approach with aspire to design uniquely tailored programmes. These may be non-accredited or attract nationally recognised qualifications or development awards.

how coaching helps you get the most from your greatest asset
“Your people are your greatest asset” the saying goes. Like most assets, they need investment to be able to achieve their maximum potential – support, inspiration, encouragement and development.
Sometimes the coaching and mentoring activities you require are part of a larger leadership or management development programme. More often you will need them to be integral elements of leadership and management roles within your service.
Whether you seek to build a core of coaching specialists, or need one to one development for your senior ranks or key staff, aspire can provide flexible, sustainable solutions that will unlock the potential in your organisation.
You will find improved performance, motivation and enthusiasm not only in the participants, but also those around them.
Your requirement for coaching and mentoring activities at all levels can be satisfied by our highly experienced team.
Coaching and mentoring may also be provided concurrent with other leadership and management programmes, embedding new behaviours, skills and enhanced performance.
Coach and mentor development programmes may be non-accredited or attract nationally recognised qualifications or development awards.
