Future Leaders Programme Recruitment
The Future Leaders Programme offers opportunities for Health Education England Yorkshire and the Humber medical and dental trainees to do a one year “out of programme experience” (OOPE) Leadership Fellowship to help grow and develop their personal leadership skills. Some Leadership Fellow vacancies are open to other healthcare professionals, such as nurses, allied health professionals, pharmacists, health care scientists, and SAS doctors and dentists.
Vacancies for the 2024 Future Leaders Programme will be published in the vacancies section below following the bids process.
The next round of recruitment for Future Leaders will be for the August 2024 cohort. Please see the timeline below for more details.

Educational Supervisor Sessions
We have recently held sessions for potential bidders and Educational Supervisors. The recordings of these sessions can be found here:
Please see the vacancies section below for current vacancies and how to apply.
For recruitment enquiries please email futureleadersrec.yh@hee.nhs.uk
Current fellows should contact futureleaders.yh@hee.nhs.uk.
We are delighted to hear you are interested in leadership.
To support you as you prepare for interview, you may find the following helpful:
- Read the HEE application guidance - this gives some useful advice on how to present yourself at interview (https://www.hee.nhs.uk/about/work-us/hee-applicant-guide).
- Prepare some interview ‘stories’ about your experience, skills and attitude, which you can use as examples in response to interview questions. Remember these are not ‘stories’ in that they are fictional, they are ‘stories’ because they are engaging narratives describing your experience. The ‘STAR’ approach (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is one framework you might use for structuring your responses.
- If you do not already have a coach, you may wish to arrange some coaching sessions prior to any interviews to help with this preparation. The info on coaching and how to access a coach is here: https://www.yorksandhumberdeanery.nhs.uk/learner_support/coaching
- Please look out for our FLP recruitment open evening which will be held in the Autumn. The date, once confirmed, will be updated on this webpage. The event will also be publicised via HEE's social media channels:

Shortlisting and interviews are coordinated by the Lead Contact for each vacancy with guidance from the Future Leaders recruitment team. The interview window is given in the timeline above. Specific interview dates for each vacancy are included in the descriptions in the vacancies section. Interview venues will vary depending on the vacancy, and the specific interview venue will be given in the interview invitation.
Applicants invited to interview will be required to bring photographic ID (normally a Passport or Drivers Licence) when they attend. Any other documents you will need to bring with you, will be included in the interview invitation.
Following interview, feedback and verbal offers will be made by the Lead Contact. The Lead Contact will also notify the Future Leaders recruitment team about the successful applicant. The successful applicant will then be sent a formal appointment letter by the recruitment team. The appointment letter will confirm details about the Future Leaders Programme, the post, and your employment.
Doctors, public health registrars and dentists in training only:
After accepting an offer for the Future Leaders Programme, trainees will need to apply for approval for a period Out Of Programme (OOP).
Future Leaders vacancies are funded by NHS England. However, Leadership Fellows are not employed by NHS England and the employer will vary depending on the vacancy and the staff group of the successful applicant. The employer may be distinct from the host organisation or be based in a different location from the past.
Any questions regarding NHS service and contract arrangements should be directed to the nominated employer or current employer. Employment arrangements and contacts will be confirmed on appointment.
Doctors, public health registrars and dentists in training only
You will be employed by the nominated employer for the vacancy. This includes doctors currently undertaking a Public Health training programme. Terms and conditions are similar to an existing trainees terms and conditions.
All other applicants in substantive posts
You will be appointed on a secondment basis. As such you will continue to be employed by your current organisation for the duration of the Future Leadership Programme. Any secondment must be agreed by your current employer. Applicants should therefore consider discussing the opportunity with their organisation at the time of application.
Doctors, public health registrars and dentists in training who are offered a Future Leaders post, will need to apply to their Training Programme Director for approval for a period Out Of Programme - Experience (OOPE). As the programme is an OOPE opportunity, it does not count towards CCT / CCST.
OOP applications must be submitted 6 months prior to the OOP start date. To avoid delays, candidates should apply promptly after appointment to the Future Leaders Programme. Please see the Training Guidance webpage for information about the OOP approval process.
Trainees should discuss OOP opportunities with their TPD before applying.
Academic trainees
Academic trainees are generally not able to undertake OOPE, but this is at the discretion of HEE and the NIHR TCC. Academic trainees should consult the NIHR TCC website and discuss the opportunity with their Academic Supervisor before applying.
For further information about the Future Leaders Programme, please visit the Future Leaders website.
Less Than Full Time or Part-time workers
Less Than Full Time (LTFT) trainees or part-time workers are encouraged to apply for the Future Leaders Programme. Please contact the Future Leaders Support Team and the Lead Contact for the vacancy to discuss whether the post would lend itself to LTFT / part-time working. Some posts may be more suitable than others.
Please be aware that the Leadership year is a very busy and full one and includes the additional demands of a Postgraduate Certificate. While, an extension may be possible on a case by case basis, all leadership posts are funded for 12 months only, irrespective of the post holders' working pattern.
Locum or bank work
Fellows must be mindful of the fact that they are employed to undertake a Fellowship and that is their primary responsibility. Normal hours of work should be clarified at the outset of the year with the Fellow’s Educational Supervisor.
It is not permissible to undertake any other form of employment during normal hours of work. Undertaking additional/alternative employment during normal work hours of a Fellowship is fraudulent behaviour and Fellows doing so may be subject to disciplinary procedures by their employer, Health Education England and their professional regulator.
Some Fellows express concern at spending a year away from clinical work and may wish to take steps to mitigate this concern and maintain their skills, e.g. through locum or bank work. Locum or bank work is permitted as long as it is undertaken in a Fellow's own time, i.e. during evenings, weekends or annual leave. Locum or bank work must not interfere with a Fellows’ ability to carry out their Fellowship role.
All Educational Supervisors and Fellows need to sign the locum/bank work agreement form by the end of August.
All Fellows must declare any clinical work undertaken at the end of their Fellowship year.
Doctors, public health registrars and dentists in training - Fellows must declare all locums undertaken on their Form R, as this is the formal record of their whole scope of practice.
Pay
HEE's contribution will be based upon the fellow's base line salary of their substantive role (ST grade or AfC banding).
Specialty schools and Local Education Providers are able to bid to host a Leadership Fellow. Organisations wishing to host a Leadership Fellow will need to submit a bid application and actively participate in recruitment. Future Leader Fellowships are funded for 12 months only. Any organisations which have previously hosted a Leadership Fellow, will need to submit a new bid if they wish to host another Fellow.
The bid process takes place once a year. The next bidding round will be for the August 2024 Future Leaders Programme.
Bids may be either funded 100% by Health Education England, or funded 50% by NHS England and 50% by an LEP/another organisation. School bids are 100% funded by NHS England. Fellows in 100% funded posts are expected to undertake work across the Yorkshire and the Humber region, or undertake work that will be disseminated across this geography.
Bids from other organisations are funded 50% by NHS England and 50% by the LEP/organisation. Fellows in these posts can undertake work specific to that LEP, although LEPs are encouraged to share learning across the region where appropriate.
Recruitment Arrangements
The Future Leaders recruitment team will advertise all posts on this website and co-ordinate the recruitment process. Bidders are responsible for promoting their posts within their school/organisation or wider. The strongest field of applicants tends to be generated when bidders promote their posts widely through presentations at training days and educational events. Bidders are also responsible for shortlisting and interviewing applicants.
In their bid application organisations will be asked to identify an Educational Supervisor to support the Leadership Fellow. Once an applicant is appointed, the Educational Supervisor should contact the new Leadership Fellow to confirm the start date and base location, and to organise a project specific induction. All Leadership Fellows will be invited to attend a programme induction organised by the Future Leaders support team.
