Leaders Plus

At Leaders Plus we work with individuals during maternity leave, shared parental leave and beyond so that they can progress in their careers whilst at the same time enjoy their young families. Too often parents feel they have to choose between family life and a fulfilling leadership career. We exist to change this. Our award winning Fellowship Programme supports Leaders with Babies and young children. Our Fellows have come from employers such as the BBC, NHS, HSBC, Action Tutoring and the Salvation Army. We welcome applications from fathers and mothers. Together with our partners and our Fellows, we are building a positive movement for change so that new parents can thrive in leadership roles, therefore addressing a root cause of the gender pay gap. We have been selected by The Observer and Nesta as one of 50 New Radical organisations and our Founder (Verena Hefti) has won the WeAreTheCity Rising Stars award for her work in setting up Leaders Plus. We are accredited by Social Enterprise UK and have been supported by the RSA (Royal Society for the Arts and Commerce).
