Applications for cohort 18 of the Mary Seacole programme are now open. This is a nationally recognised programme of learning aimed at people new to their leadership role.

More information can be found in the attached programme summary and application form.


Applicants should be aware that the minimum of 100 hours online learning/study (approximately 7 hours per week for 6 months) is a true reflection of the amount of time and work needed to put in to complete the programme.

Applicants are encouraged to discuss and negotiate protected study time with their line manager, to enable them to complete the work needed using a mixture of protected time in their working hours and their own time.


The Application Form attached is for completion and return no later than 5.00pm Thursday 18 January 2024 - due to the high number of applications expected, we will be unable to accept late applications.

Applicants are asked to also complete and return the attached Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form.
