Applications for the fully funded Mary Seacole (Local) Development Programme Cohort 22 are now open

The Mary Seacole Programme has been designed to support first time leaders. 

As a first time line manager, you’re a seasoned professional taking on new leadership responsibilities and you’ll find lots in the programme to help you be effective and feel confident in the role. The programme will encourage you to ask some fundamental questions of leadership, including the core question, ‘What's it like to be on the receiving end of me?’ You'll learn some practical management skills and impactful leadership approaches. More though, you'll explore personal insights, adapt your attitude as a leader, and build your confidence to fill up the authority of your leadership role. Expect to have your behaviours and your mind-set challenged, and your perspectives broadened. This programme will support you to be your best-self and make a real difference to patients, the workforce and the service as a whole.

This six month programme consists of 100 hours of online study, plus 3 face-to-face full day workshops and a reflective assignment. The Trust has 5 funded places available for Cohort 22 which will begin in September 2023. 

Applications are now open please request an expression of interest form by contacting victoria.swindle@nhs.net for further information. Please note closing date is 6^th August 2023.
