Programme and Events Lead

To build a fair education for all, we need to unlock the potential in all children – not just some. Together, we’re making it happen. Every day, our work takes us closer to a better future. But we need to do more. It’s a big challenge – and we need your help to take it on.

As the Programme and Events Lead, you’ll run high-quality events in your region that support all of our programmes and our trainee teachers. Your events will be delivered on time, within budget and exceed the expectations of everyone involved. You’ll have excellent project management skills, keep people engaged and confidently hold others to account for event delivery. Communicating with internal and external stakeholders is key to this role so you’ll be a confident communicator with great attention to detail.

• Do you have experience of managing large scale events and conferences that meet delegate expectations and had lots of communications experience as part of this?
• Are you skilled in managing operational and administrative functions to ensure specific projects are delivered efficiently?
• Do you have good Excel skills and be able to analyse data to identify trends?
• Can you lead the development and implementation of project plans involving multiple stakeholders?
• Can you work seamlessly with a variety of teams and stakeholders, adapting your communication style to maximise support and engagement?
• Can you provide leadership, motivation, direction and support to your team and colleagues?

Yes to the above? Then we want to hear from you. You might be our next Programme & Events Lead.
