Coaching and mentoring for leaders

We’ve partnered with selected coaching companies and other leading-edge organisations to provide free, confidential, 1-2-1 coaching or mentoring support sessions for all NHS and social care leaders.

If you work in Primary Care, please see our Coaching support for primary care staff offer to see if this is right for you.

We have 2 options for leaders to choose from. Read through each of the offers and find out how to access the right one for you.

Coaching support: Leading in and through the crisis

This coaching offer is available for senior leaders

Are you a senior leader wanting to stand back and appraise your decision-making during the current situation whilst creating time and space to consider how to lead the transition into the future state?

If so, we can match you with an experienced coach who will work with you to strengthen your leadership by creating space for you to stand back, slow-down and reflect – providing you with the opportunity to enhance your decision making, to ‘hold steady’ in, and through, this crisis and to build and maintain personal resilience in order to effectively role-model effective, inclusive and compassionate leadership.

Support for senior leaders will be provided, virtually, for up to a maximum of twelve 45 to 60-minute sessions. Please note that as capacity for this offer is limited, priority will be given to those with significant organisational, system or national-level leadership roles. You will be asked to make a short case for how you meet these criteria and how you, your team and/or patients will benefit from the coaching.

Please note: This is not an offer for career development.
