Tenders are invited from suitably qualified and experienced freelance executive coaches to provide coaching to very senior or executive leaders across Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and its subsidiaries.
Background
Coaching is a proven and recognised developmental tool to support leaders to:
• improve resilience and confidence
• develop skills to drive performance and productivity
• be a confident and innovative leader
• improve relationships.
The Trust has an established internal community of experienced and trained coaches from across the organisation - the Northumbria Coaching Network . A number of coaches are qualified ILM Level 5 coaches and Level 7 Executive coaches, and the network ensures regular CPD as well as coaching supervision, to ensure coaches practice ethically and in line with the Global Code of Ethics.
A 5 year internal Coaching Strategy was approved in November 2021, and this recognised that on occasions, for some very senior or executive leaders, it may be appropriate to access external executive coaches.
