Job description

Interim Operations & Education Lead

London | 18-month Fixed Term

We’re looking for a seasoned school leader to take the reins at an education business during a key period of parental leave cover. If you’re passionate about teaching, great at bringing structure to growing teams, and ready for a new kind of challenge outside the classroom, keep reading.

The role

You’ll be leading day-to-day operations, managing a small and talented team, and making sure everything runs smoothly while continuing to deliver top-tier educational resources to primary schools across the UK. You’ll play a central role in steering key projects, keeping quality high, and aligning with the long-term vision.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong leadership experience as a headteacher, deputy, or head of year.
  • Solid knowledge of PE or music within the UK primary curriculum.
  • Someone who can make fast, smart decisions and keep things moving
  • Great communicator who builds trust easily
  • Passionate about making teachers' lives easier

Why this is a bit different

We're not a school - but we’re rooted in education. The work is all about supporting teachers and improving outcomes for pupils in meaningful, practical ways. You’ll be joining a mission-led team during a pivotal chapter, with the chance to shape what comes next and make a real difference along the way.

Start date: Ideally ASAP (by September latest)

Hours: Full-time, 5 days/week

Location: Shoreditch, London
