Leadership Faculty Coordinator

This is a varied role where no two weeks will feel exactly the same: one day you may be liaising with partners or participants, and the next you may be helping prepare for a key event, supporting colleagues with programme logistics or improving the way we organise and deliver our work.

Within commutable distance of one of our campuses in Birmingham (B15 2HU
), Blackburn (BB1 2HT
) or Doncaster (DN6 7E) Salary: £32,578 per annum + benefits

At the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT), we believe teaching is a fundamental societal good, a privilege and a responsibility. We are on a mission to improve the quality of teacher and leader development at a system level, using evidence, research and partnership to help shape a stronger education system for the future.

Are you an experienced administrator with a passion for supporting educational leadership? We have an exciting opportunity for a proactive and highly organised Coordinator to join our Leadership Faculty. In this pivotal role, you’ll coordinate the delivery and operations of our leadership programmes—including the School Trust CEO Programme and NPQs—across multiple regions.

We are seeking a candidate with strong administrative experience, particularly in coordinating events and managing processes that drive successful programme delivery. You will be highly proficient in MS Office software packages—including Teams, Word, Excel, and Outlook—as well as online databases and search engines. Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail are essential, alongside outstanding interpersonal and written communication abilities.

The ideal candidate will be proactive and solutions-focused, able to adapt their communication style to suit different audiences. A commitment to the aims of the National Institute of Teaching and a genuine interest in the education sector are vital, as is a belief in the value of developing teachers and school leaders.

The role is based at either our Birmingham (B15 2HU
) , Blackburn (BB1 2HT
) or Doncaster (DN6 7E) campus locations, so you should be within commutable distance of one of these. The role is predominantly hybrid with the need to be on site at least once a fortnight. The role will, on occasion, be required to travel to other sites across the country and travel expenses will be paid.
