Job overview
Participant Development Manager
Permanent
London North
The link between low income and low academic attainment is greater in the UK than almost any other developed nation. Children eligible for free school meals are less likely to get good GCSEs and go on to higher education. This makes it more likely they will struggle throughout their lives, widening social inequality. It’s a cycle that we’re determined to break.
We work with thousands of brilliant teachers, schools, universities and partners in England and Wales and we are seeking a fantastic Participant Development Manager to join our London North Local area team.
The Participant Development Manager (PDM) is accountable for excellence participant outcomes in a specific local area. The PDM leads on all local participant impact activity through the line management of approximately fifteen Participant Development Leads (PDLs) whose delivery constitutes a significant factor in the successful delivery of the new Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) and broader delivery of the Teach First Leadership Development Programme.
You will have substantial experience of people management and development, with the ability to provide team direction and build an effective team, empowering and enabling direct reports to act independently and solve problems on their own. In addition, you will have significant experience of addressing performance issues fairly, positively and promptly.
The day when no child’s future is limited by their background is coming, yet, there is still more to be done. Join us and help us ensure every child in the UK has a fair shot at achieving their ambitions.
