The Fellowship Programme is an award- winning leadership development programme aimed specifically at colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds who are working within the Health and Care system in West Yorkshire. This can include anyone working in the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector.

In particular the programme aims to increase the diversity of our leaders within Health and Care roles across West Yorkshire. The programme has been running since 2020, and in that time 20 individuals have either completed it or are currently undertaking it.

In order to help organisations release colleagues to take part in the placement element of the programme backfill funding will be provided.

Applications close on 16 June, and there are three places open to us in Wakefield place.

Those eligible for the programme will usually :

• Either be in or looking to progress into their first leadership position.
• Have care giving responsibility as a qualified member of a profession.
• May or may not be in a formal leadership role.  
• Have responsibility for people and/or services.
