Each cohort will benefit from a four module programme which explores the role of leadership in delivering change. Delegates benefit from growing their network of likeminded colleagues from different housing providers in a supportive environment.
The course is open to colleagues working within registered providers and both Members and Guests are able to apply. Candidates must be existing managers – which means they’re either managing people or non-staff resources with full responsibility / accountability.
When joining the cohort you’ll commit to a 4 module, 8-day classroom-based course. We’ll run a kickstart meeting online before the first module so that delegates can get to know each other. It will also include additional coursework-based activity outside of working hours.
Along with completing the leadership programme you’ll receive the following:

“I found the whole set-up and the way in which sessions were laid out to be incredibly useful, as they immersed you in the subject matter and made all the work and learning a collaborative affair. The cohort I was with were brilliant. Everyone was engaged, open in their discussions, and really got involved in the exercises. Andrew, the trainer was fantastic, couldn’t have asked for better; he has a way of drawing you in to become really interested in the subject matter and to allow you to develop your own skills without making it about him and what he is doing. All in all, I learnt a lot from this course, from opening my mind to a systems-based approach, understanding political awareness, and people and change management, to even just having made some good connections whom I am sure I will stay in touch with and have already benefitted from knowing.”
Christopher Wade, Head of Housing Solutions, Thurrock Council
“I believe the program provided me with the tools, knowledge, and support that I needed to become a more effective leader and has enabled me to make a bigger impact on the issues that matter most to me. I have also been able to practically implement many sections of the course content into my current role too, so whilst I gained effective and in-depth theoretical knowledge about becoming a great leader, I have witnessed a valuable practical benefit too!”
Dave O’Toole, Head of Customer Services, Origin Housing
“I found the next generation leaders programme to be beneficial in both my professional and personal development. It’s helped me develop my strategic thinking, self-awareness, and problem-solving skills, as well as understanding the principles of effective change management, political awareness, and collaborative working. Being part of this programme has also grown my professional network and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in better understanding leadership.”
Merle Murray, Development Manager, Golding Homes
