Resources for the Connecting for Talent community
Listening to Talent
There is genuine joy and satisfaction from working in the NHS and contributing to the improved health of our population. However, there can also be significant challenges for these board level roles; life at times can be really very difficult and we are here to do more than connect people with work assignments - we are here to support you on your career journey.
This resource hub will develop in the coming months but we intend to create a space where you can seek support from us and we can connect you with other executives nationally for support and thinking space when you need it. The NHS does great work and we must look after each other.
"Need support? If anyone is struggling and would like a conversation, please get in touch and we can have a chat - email me at info@connectingfortalent.co.uk.
Would like to support? If you would like to become part of a buddying network for executives, please let me know. I have a growing ‘listening to talent’ list of people who are here to support each other."

I am keen to support this platform so that we can draw easily on our experienced NHS talent pool, both those who have left and those who are currently in permanent positions. I’m also an advocate for providing a ‘listening ear’ to members of senior teams when they need it and have signed up to be listed as a ‘buddy'
