As a leader, at the helm of all centre operations, you will take ownership of executing a clear strategy for centre growth, creating a high performance team culture and regulating processes to set a strong foundation for growth.

• Use a variety of KPIs and performance measures to confidently diagnose what your centre needs to continuously improve. Form a clear plan to achieve both short term and long term performance goals and gain the buy in of your team to execute this effectively.
• Inspire and motivate a full‑time Education Centre Supervisor and team of tutors to succeed in their role and unlock their individual potential.
• Take a proactive and bold approach to safeguarding the members in your care and empower your team to do the same. Ensure the centre is compliant with Ofsted and company safeguarding requirements.

• Tailor customer journeys with tailored educational recommendations from prospect to members, ensuring they are making great progress and you are delivering exceptional service.

• An excellent problem solver – approaching challenges logically and creatively to find solutions with available resources.
• Adaptable – adjusting effectively to changing environments or demands whilst remaining resilient in the face of setbacks.
• An effective communicator – expressing ideas clearly, concisely, and appropriately for the audience.
• Forward thinking – planning ahead to achieve performance aims, managing time and tasks to focus on what matters most.
• Self‑Aware – recognising one’s own strengths, weaknesses, emotions and impact on others.
• A bold leader – inspiring and energising others to take action and enabling others to speak up, take risks, and feel respected. Confident to take effective action based on information and judgement.

Our leaders create clarity and lead with trust to guide and empower others to achieve ambitious goals. It means we act boldly, inspire curiosity and unlock individual potential to drive meaningful progress and a lasting impact!

• You’re looking for a rewarding role – we are a purpose‑driven company and everything we do is centred around making a real difference to the lives of children.
• You want autonomy with impact – you’ll be trusted to own the success of your centre and have a clear impact on its profitability, member growth and reputation in the local community.
• You prioritise self‑development – we offer high‑quality training and abundant opportunities for personal growth and development.
