Newly Appointed Executive Director Offer
Offers on this page are made available to all South West Newly Appointed Executive Directors.
The aim of the South West Talent Team is to develop and support compassionate, inclusive and effective leaders to reach their full potential.
You have just begun one of the most exhilarating and challenging journeys of your career and your leadership is vital to ensure we improve the lives of people living in our local communities.
The initial months of your new role are likely to be hectic with lots of competing priorities, and we hope these resources give some space for reflection and development during this time.
Career Development Conversation
These conversations can support you to shape your current role as well as provide the discussion around the development needed for your aspirational role.
