Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship

Lead, manage and support

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

The Senior Leader's programme provides clear, inclusive, strategic leadership and direction relating to your area of responsibility within an organisation.

Typically, this involves setting, managing and monitoring the achievement of core objectives that are aligned with the overall strategic objectives of their organisation’s Board (or equivalent). In a smaller organisation they are also likely to contribute to the execution and achievement of these strategic objectives. A Senior Leader influences at a higher organisational level, including sometimes at Board (or equivalent) level, and sets the culture and tone across their area of responsibility.
