The Aspiring Chair Talent programme is aimed at senior leaders. For the first cohort this will be specifically for non-executive directors currently working in provider NHS organisations aspiring to a first-time chair role within the next 12-18 months.

This programme is for you if you:

  • You demonstrate the aspiration and potential to be a chair within the next 12-18 months maximum. 
  • If you have extensive NHS provider board or equivalent senior leader level experience. 
  • Have chaired a sub-committee.
  • Can demonstrate understanding of complexity of the NHS.
  • Have an ability to work with stakeholders within and across systems.
  • Have had a talent conversation or will undertake a talent conversation to support the above and it is agreed by the NED and yourself as chair collectively that you are suitable for participation in this programme.  A suggested conversation approach would be Scope for Growth.
  • Part of the pre-application, and suitability conversation process, is for the NED and their chair to undertake a self-assessment against the six board competency domains in the Leadership Competency Framework.

This programme is not aimed at those who have been recently appointed into a chair role.
