UPDATE: 14 May 2023: Closure of the Leadership Ladder in its current form
From May 2023 Leadership, Performance and Culture will be introducing a revised package of learning products and services for managers and leaders that will replace the Leadership Ladder. The new products and services are designed to meet the everyday challenges and the long-term growth ambitions of aspiring, new and experienced leaders, and managers.
If you are currently working through any of the leadership ladder levels, we encourage you to complete your learning by 14th May 2023. After this date, completion records will be transferred to ESR and the site hosting the leadership ladder will be closed.
We will be publishing a further announcement to launch the new products and services soon.

How we demonstrate being a Leader who is caring, expert and delivers quality in everything they do, needs to be part of NHSBT’s DNA. We recognise this will vary in roles at different levels. The Leadership Ladder (registration with Page Tiger required) will help you navigate your way from being:
- An aspiring or new leader (Level 1) “The Effective Leader”
- Someone who managers people or senior leader (Level 2) “The Engaging Leader”
- Someone developing and leading strategy (Level 3) “The strategic leader

Leadership Ladder & Inclusion
“putting equality, diversity and inclusion at the centre of our recovery and transformation efforts, with the objective of saving and improving more lives and making NHSBT a great place to work for everyone” – Betsy Bassis May 2020
Enabling all colleagues to be their best selves is vital to the success of NHSBT. Leaders of all levels play a pivotal role in creating and sustaining an environment that is equal, diverse and inclusive. You will already have completed your Mandatory Training in My ESR. This will ensure you have a good understanding of Diversity and Inclusion. As we continue to work with you, we recognise the Leadership Ladder needs to reflect this broader expectation of Leaders and Managers. We would therefore encourage you to consider Equality, Diversity, Inclusion by reviewing these resources
