A rapidly growing national education group is seeking an exceptional leader to deliver the Examinations Provision across the UK.
This is not a traditional operations role. We're looking for someone who has successfully scaled organisations and is comfortable in driving business expansion alongside delivering an exceptional service to students—someone who combines commercial awareness with the energy to roll up their sleeves and make things happen.
Our client exists to create meaningful change for neurodivergent young people. Central to this mission is the exemplary delivery of qualifications; ensuring that every candidate has the opportunity to perform to the best of their ability in a purpose designed, supportive environment.
