Officers and Staff: Working Together
The staff/officer dynamic can be challenging to navigate. This training programme brings staff and officers together in a collaborative space to explore how they can work more effectively as a team.
Together, you’ll examine models of best practice, discuss real-world challenges, and co-create a practical, tailored working philosophy that suits your organisation’s unique context.
Key topics include:
- Representational vs. operational roles
- The staff member and the elected officer: understanding the distinction
- Building a healthy, professional relationship with clear boundaries
This is a chance to step back, reflect, and strengthen one of the most vital working relationships in your organisation.

“Experiencing Alkhemy’s ‘Working Effectively’ training was a real game-changer for us starting the new year. The insightful and practical training has already begun to transform how I’m able to collaborate and communicate with our officers, enhancing our working relationship significantly . The resources provided were a welcome addition and have uses beyond officer relationships. A heartfelt thank you to the Alkhemy team for this impactful training.“
