The second cohort of the RCSLT’s leadership programme is now open for applications. Find out more and download the application pack to apply for a place today. Applications are open until 5pm on 14 July 2025.
Following a successful first year, the RCSLT’s leadership programme, Inspire, is now open for applications for the second cohort which will begin later this year.
The programme was created to provide our members with a learning experience to support them on their leadership journey, and includes two in-person days, three virtual seminars and self-directed learning focusing on understanding self-awareness; leading a team; and promoting and developing your profession.
As a participant you will learn how your leadership behaviours can affect the culture and climate you, your colleagues and your teams, work in. You will also understand how your actions and behaviours affect the experiences of patients and service users, and the quality of care provided to them.
Those who took part in the first cohort found it to be a challenging and rewarding experience, so we encourage anyone who is interested to apply. There are only 18 places available, and it is open to RCSLT members across the whole of the UK who fulfil our selection criteria. We are particularly looking for members who aspire to take on leadership responsibility within 12 months of programme completion and/or those who have been appointed as a leader within the last 6 months.
To apply for the programme applicants will need to complete an application form which includes uploading a copy of their C.V. (max. 2 pages) and completing a 250-word expression of interest statement.
Find out more and download the application pack now. Applications are open until 5pm on 14 July 2025.
We will also be hosting a webinar on 26 June 2025 at 7pm for anyone interested in applying to drop in and find out more or have their questions answered. Email leadership@rcslt.org to register your interest in joining and we will share a joining link closer to the time.
RCSLT is committed to being an inclusive membership organisation. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.
