The postholder will act as the internal lead for the iLEAD leadership development programme, ensuring the programme is successfully embedded across HAAS and aligned to the wider Learning & Development Strategy, operational priorities, colleague engagement, retention, and future workforce capability.

The postholder will work closely with the L&D Strategy & Capability Manager, senior leaders, operational managers, People & Culture, L&D Delivery, external providers, and colleagues across Transformation to ensure leadership development supports improved manager effectiveness, colleague experience, performance, confidence, and internal progression.
The role will also support the long-term sustainability of leadership development by embedding leadership frameworks, coaching approaches, toolkits, learning resources, manager guidance, evaluation methods, and internal delivery capability.
Accountabilities
- Lead the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of the HAAS leadership development framework.
- Act as the internal programme lead for iLEAD, ensuring effective planning, delivery, embedding, evaluation, and continuous improvement.
- Work with external training providers and internal stakeholders to ensure leadership development materials, toolkits, webinars, coaching sessions, and governance processes are transferred, embedded, and sustained internally.
- Translate business priorities, workforce challenges, and operational insight into practical leadership development interventions.
- Demonstrate authentic leadership practice and act as a role model for effective leadership behaviours, coaching approaches, and people development across HAAS.
- Design and oversee leadership development pathways for aspiring leaders, new managers, first-line leaders, and established leaders.
- Work with senior leaders and People & Culture to identify leadership capability gaps and development priorities.
- Ensure leadership development supports improved colleague engagement, retention, manager capability, productivity, confidence, and quality.
- Lead the development of a consistent HAAS coaching framework in partnership with the Coaching & Leadership Development Specialist.
- Embed coaching into leadership development, PDRs, PDPs, career conversations, performance conversations, and manager development activity.
- Design and facilitate leadership development workshops, webinars, action learning sets, reflective practice sessions, and blended learning interventions.
- Work with Content, Digital Learning, and L&D colleagues to ensure leadership development resources are accessible, engaging, and effectively hosted on our LMS iLearn.
- Establish clear governance, quality assurance, and evaluation processes for leadership development activity.
- Develop reporting and insight to demonstrate the impact of leadership development on confidence, behaviour change, learning transfer, and business outcomes.
- Support the development of leadership capability data, dashboards, and reporting to inform strategic decision-making.
- Build strong relationships with senior leaders, operational leaders, Clinical Excellence, People & Culture, Transformation, and L&D Delivery.
- Ensure leadership development activity is aligned to the HAAS Learning & Development Strategy, capability frameworks, career pathways, and future workforce needs.
- Support succession planning and internal talent development by creating clear leadership development routes.
- Collaborate with L&D Delivery to ensure leadership development complements, but does not duplicate, operational training delivery.
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of leadership development, coaching, organisational development, adult learning, and talent development practice.
- Maintain a personal development plan and engage in ongoing CPD relevant to leadership development, coaching, OD, and L&D.
