Executive Leadership Team 

Led by the CEO, the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is a team of the most senior leaders in the Trust who meet regularly and work collaboratively to achieve the Trust’s objectives as agreed by the Trust Board.

The purpose of the ELT in conjunction with the Board of Trustees is to support the CEO in shaping and delivering the ongoing vision, purpose, values and ethos of the Trust through collective accountability and delegated authority. This will therefore include the identification and management of risk, so that planned outcomes are not compromised. We call this ‘intentional collaboration’.

Each member of the ELT has individual accountabilities as determined by their job role within and wider responsibilities across the organisation.

The ELT is a team and not a group. It seeks to act and speak with “one voice, one heart, and one mind,” utilising the knowledge and skills of each member so that the team is collectively more than the sum of its parts.
