QfL is a small Oxfordshire charity with a big ambition; we want all children to leave primary school able to read well and be confident about maths. Currently, one in five children can’t read well or at all by the age of 11, and many others struggle with the basic maths skills that they will need in their adult lives.

Since 1995, we’ve worked in primary schools across the county, using our established literacy and maths programmes to boost confidence and skills, closing the education disadvantage gap and ultimately improving the life chances of thousands of children.

We’re looking for the right person to lead the delivery of QfL’s mission in the next stage of the charity’s development. You will enable the charity to continue to be an expert voice in the education sector across Oxfordshire; further develop our profile and the positive impact we have on our community; and advance the development of fundraising to support our strategic goals.

You may be an experienced charity leader, have a background in education, or perhaps are looking to move out of the corporate world to work in an area that aligns with your beliefs. Alternatively, you may be looking to build your career with a step up to this position, using your skills and enthusiasm to drive QfL forward.

You’ll definitely be someone who cares deeply about addressing educational inequality and who understands the importance of closing the gaps in children’s attainment at an early age. A background in education would be a significant plus but isn’t essential as long as you have a willingness to learn.

You’ll have great leadership and partnership-building skills, which will stand you in good stead for managing a highly experienced and dedicated team and for developing strong relationships with funders, sector bodies, and individuals which open the door to new opportunities for the charity.

You’ll also be highly collaborative and committed to working in accordance with QfL’s core values.
