Emerging System Leader Programme (ESLP)

The ESLP is an inclusive system leadership development programme that offers an exciting opportunity to ambitious mid-level leaders to broaden and develop their leadership skills and knowledge.

Programme Introduction

The second cohort of our successful ESLP, an inclusive system leadership development programme, offers an exciting opportunity to ambitious mid-level leaders to broaden and develop their leadership skills and knowledge.

A Hertfordshire and West Essex (HWE) system wide programme which demonstrates the commitment of HWE ICS partners to support and advance the careers of our mid-level professionals from health, care and the wider public sector across our footprint. It aims to ensure we develop inclusive and diverse senior leadership for our system.

ESLP aims to accelerate career progression to more senior leadership roles within 1-2 years and an Executive Director role within 3-6 years. It is a standalone career development programme, but participation may provide a pathway to the highly acclaimed HWE Accelerated Director Development Programme (ADDS).

Who is it for

Those who will benefit the most are mid-level leaders from all partnership organisations who are looking to develop their skills and confidence to lead services across a wider system and who have the potential, and aspiration, to progress their careers to a more senior level. We are committed to the development and progression of leaders from diverse backgrounds.

If you are someone who embodies compassion and collaboration, possesses a drive to lead change and achieve remarkable results, and who thrives on building strong relationships to enhance performance then you are the ideal candidate for ESLP.

Typically, ESLP will benefit leaders at Band 8b/c levels within Agenda for Change; clinicians who are currently in Consultant, GP or SAS roles; level 15 and above within social care (or equivalent). Exceptional leaders outside these levels with the potential to progress to an executive director role may also benefit from ESLP.

Overview of ESLP development opportunities.

ESLP is a 18-month programme. As well as formal learning, the programme provides hands-on experiential learning, invaluable coaching skills, system leader mentoring, and group reflective practice.
