• 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.

At Explore Learning we empower every member of staff to be a leader, from tutors to members of the Senior Leadership Team. 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.
