Mary Seacole Facilitators Training 2024
Application Closing Date: Thursday 17th October 2024
Confirmation Date: Friday 25th October 2024
The NHS Leadership Academy Mary Seacole Programme was designed for first time leaders to support them to develop their knowledge and skills in leadership and management.
It consists of 100 hours of online learning plus three behavioural workshops and a written assignment.
We have been running this as local offer in London since 2022, at a cost £150 per person, and are now hoping to expand the number of local facilitators so that we can offer this more widely.
We believe there are benefits for organisations when their workforce completes the Mary Seacole Programme which include:
- • Partaking in a national, quality assured programme, which will be updated in line with any future leadership standards.
- • Better succession planning, due to having an increased number of capable leaders in the pipeline.
- • A wider pool of professional skills to draw on within the organisation.
- • Structured, evidence-based perspectives on decision-making which have a positive impact.
- • People with greater positive impact on organisational culture.
- • Leaders who have powerful strategies to achieve change.
- • A healthier degree of challenge throughout the organisation rather than just at a senior level.
What will being a Mary Seacole Local Facilitator require:
- • The Facilitator training is 3 full days (with the option of a further day), which will be delivered via MS Teams by an NHS Leadership Academy approved Mobilizer Trainer.
- • A commitment to deliver two cohorts of the programme.
- • Estimated time for delivery of each cohort is 5 days: 1 day prep and 3 days delivery plus an additional day to cover tracking learner contributions on the virtual campus, attending any additional facilitator meetings and any cohort introduction meetings you may want to include.
- • Facilitators will work in pairs or trios with cohorts of up to 20 participants.
- • Each cohort runs over a 6-month period, and includes an introduction session, three workshop days on-line and self-directed learning carried out via the London Virtual Campus.
- • Facilitators are required to interact with the on-line elements of the programme on the Virtual Campus, which usually entails checking the site a couple of times a week, potentially posting topics to prompt conversation, and responding to queries.
What do existing facilitators tell us this really means: Mary Seacole Local Facilitator Compact
“I would say, if you are interested in becoming a trainer or a facilitator this is an excellent place to start, the support is excellent and although I found it terrifying to deliver my first cohort, I really enjoyed it once I was doing it and it is a really good way to develop your skills and confidence”.
