Work in a small in-house team to design and deliver hi-impact ODL interventions across the Group. These interventions will seek to bring about an increase in leadership impact (as measured against significant business issues) at an individual and collective leadership team level.



Work on your own - or with other ODL consulting colleagues - with teams of leaders at a service and divisional level to enable them to adapt and change relative to their own business priorities and desired outcomes, ensuring there is adequate internal leadership to support delivery of the organisation's strategic objectives.



Create strong and productive client relationships (where ability to challenge in service of learning is a key proof point), engaging with senior clients from initial consultation through design, diagnostic and delivery and post-delivery/change realisation phases. Act as a humble thought leader on all aspects of organisational and leadership development, providing expert insight and consultancy advice to challenge and enable leaders across the trust. Be accountable for a portfolio of the more complex and challenging projects while supervising, supporting and mentoring less experienced colleagues in the delivery of their projects and client facing work.
