Two new Fellowships launched by Clore Social Leadership

Finance | Tania Mason | 25 May 2010

The Clore Social Leadership Programme is launching two new specialist Fellowships, one in finance and one in innovation in public service delivery.

The Fellowship for Finance is supported by audit firm Deloitte and aimed at "an aspiring leader who has worked in the sector in a role with substantial financial responsibility".

NESTA, the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, is supporting the other Fellowship, which is for someone already engaged in the delivery of frontline public services and who is keen to develop innovative new practices.

As with all Clore Fellowships, the courses can last between 12 and 24 months on a full or part-time basis. During this time Fellows will attend two intensive residential courses, be mentored and coached, go on an extended secondment and engage in "focused reflection and research".

Deloitte will provide a bursary of up to £20,000 to support the successful Fellow or the organisations that employ them, as well as another £25,000 to fund the course itself.

Applications for both close on 3 June and the new Fellows will start in January 2011. Applicants must be UK residents working in or close to the UK voluntary sector as either a paid employee or volunteer, in work that is "of significant benefit to individuals and communities in the UK and committed to working in the sector in the long-term".

In addition, the Resolution Trust has committed to a strategic grant for a second year which frees up resources for at least two more general Fellowships.

The Clore Duffield Foundation is committing £1.5m to the Clore Social Leadership Programme over its first three years.
