Use data and feedback to track progress, improve processes and inform decision-making.
Champion inclusion, accessibility and best practice in STEM engagement.
About you:
You’ll bring leadership experience in an education, outreach or community setting, with a clear understanding of what it takes to deliver high-quality programmes at scale. You’ll be confident managing people, budgets and delivery plans, and you’ll have a genuine passion for helping young people realise their potential through STEM.
We’re looking for someone who is:
An effective communicator and motivator of people.
Experienced in managing delivery or operational teams.
Skilled in planning, monitoring and improving processes.
Committed to safeguarding, inclusion, and creating positive learning environments.
Confident using systems and data to inform decisions.
