Come and Join Us!

We are passionate about seeing women achieve and progress in their roles to a level they are happy with. Social Care is a very female dominated sector, up to a certain point, yet so many of us possess all of the skills required to progress if we wish to, so what is preventing the progression – Confidence? Time? Already feeling stretched enough with work and home life? A touch of imposter syndrome?

Management can also be a very lonely place, so, we are thrilled to be involved in getting the Women in Leadership group off the ground as a way to address and support each other with all of the above.

Refreshments provided.

This network is completely FREE to join and has been created for ECA Members working in the social care sector in Essex.
