Together, every child and young person can flourish. Who we are At AllChild, we believe every child and young person deserves the right support, in the right way, at the right time, rooted in the relationships and communities they know and trust. We work with schools, families, councils and community organisations to create what we call SEA change: improving children's Social, Emotional and Academic wellbeing so they can thrive at school, in life, and in the future they choose. Since 2016, we've grown from a small start-up in West London to a thriving team now reaching over 1,700 children across London and Greater Manchester. We bring people together across sectors to co-design support that makes sense locally, building trusted partnerships that last. We are now ready to deepen our presence and impact by bringing AllChild to Hastings and Bexhill - places full of community pride and creativity, but where too many children still face barriers to opportunity and wellbeing. The opportunity This is a rare opportunity to lead AllChild's work in a new region, helping more children and young people in Hastings and Bexhill to grow up well, surrounded by people and communities who believe in their potential. As Regional Director, you'll lead this next chapter of growth. Working hand-in-hand with local schools, councils and voluntary sector partners, you'll co-design and deliver our first AllChild programme in East Sussex, embedding a new way of investing in children's futures. You'll recruit, develop and lead a team of Link Workers who act as trusted adults for children, ensuring that support is early, joined-up and built around the child. You'll listen deeply to families, teachers and community leaders to shape a programme that reflects local strengths and needs. This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership role. You'll represent AllChild locally, build strong relationships across the community, and champion the voices of children and young people. You'll lead delivery, safeguarding and partnership development, while contributing to AllChild's national growth and learning. What we seek We are seeking someone who shares our belief that real change for children happens when communities come together. You'll bring energy, empathy and determination, alongside experience of leading programmes for children and young people in education, social care or the voluntary sector. You'll be an inspiring and collaborative leader, skilled at building and developing teams, confident in navigating complex local systems and working with senior leaders in schools, local authorities and charities. An ability to act both strategically and practically is needed, and you will enjoy being equally comfortable shaping vision and driving delivery. You will be experienced in safeguarding and risk management, as well as come with an entrepreneurial and creative flair, with the resilience to work at pace and in new contexts. Above all, you'll be motivated by the belief that every child deserves to flourish, bringing ambition, deep connection and trust to make that happen.

WORKING WITH US A School That Inspires Excellence We are an 11-18 academy with a thriving Sixth Form, set in a modern, welcoming building designed to ignite curiosity and ambition. In February 2024, Ofsted rated us 'Outstanding' in every category, stating: "Pupils benefit hugely from attending this remarkable school. Staff and leaders' sky-high expectations are immediately evident in pupils' scholarly demeanour. The school and trust have created a centre of true excellence. Pupils experience an extraordinary education at Harris Academy Ockendon." But what truly defines us is our culture. We help our students and staff dream bigger than they ever thought possible and support them in turning those dreams into reality. At HAOC, three values shape everything we do: Work Hard. Be Kind. Take Responsibility. These are not just words; they are the foundation of a school where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to be their best. A Leadership Team That Believes in You Our Principal, Ms Jo Rainey, is a leader who believes in transformation. Originally from Belfast, Jo took over at Ockendon in 2018, turning it from one of the lowest-performing schools in the country to one of the very best. With a strong sense of integrity, deep passion for student success, and unwavering commitment to staff and students, Jo has built a school that people want to be part of. Our Acting Assistant Director, George McMillan, knows that no school is beyond success and no child is beyond achievement. Originally from Glasgow, he has led several schools within the Harris Federation to excellence and Harris Academy Greenwich to world class status twice over, proving that high expectations, great teaching, and an ambitious culture can change lives. Together at HAOC, Jo and George have created more than just a school, they've built a thriving community where students flourish and staff grow, finding purpose, progression, and fulfilment in their careers. This is a true centre of excellence, where every student is empowered to reach their full potential and every educator is supported to lead, innovate, and inspire. Why Join Us?
