Job Details

A long-established education charity – dedicated to educational advancement since the 1950s and devoted to promoting quality education across the globe.

We work on the evidence that a teacher has more impact on learning outcomes than any other factor, and the better their knowledge, teaching practices and relationships with students, the more will be learnt.

We have already started to create the foundations for this with the creation of our Founders Circle and our School Partnership Programme. However, in order to achieve long term impact and sustainability, our new CEO will proactively identify and secure new funding, delivery and EdTech partnerships.
