A politically astute relationship-builder, comfortable navigating a complex and fast-moving external environment. Experienced in governance, with a sound understanding of working with boards or trustees and supporting effective decision-making. Numerate and commercially minded, with experience of budgets, financial planning, income generation or partnership development. Credible, approachable and resilient, with the emotional intelligence to lead well in a high-profile, remote and sometimes uncertain context. Direct SEND experience would be a significant advantage, alongside understanding of specialist education or similarly complex stakeholder environments. Why this organisation? This is a chance to lead a respected, member-led organisation with a strong national reputation and a clear public purpose. You will help shape the future of specialist education at a time when SEND reform is high on the agenda.
