The role

As Head of Flourishing Programmes, you will lead the strategic and operational delivery and expansion of our growing suite of values-led professional learning programmes: Flourishing Leaders, Flourishing Teachers, Flourishing ECTs (in partnership with UCL), and Leaders Like Us. These programmes are designed to support the flourishing of educators at every stage of their journey, with a strong emphasis on inclusion, vocation, and leadership development. You will oversee a dedicated team and work closely with internal colleagues, delivery partners, and national collaborators to ensure these programmes are impactful, inclusive, and sector-leading. This role requires a visionary and relational leader who can manage complexity, inspire excellence, and drive continuous improvement across the programmes.

Strategic Leadership and Quality Assurance

  • Provide strategic oversight of the Flourishing Programmes, including 'Leaders Like Us', ensuring alignment with organisational priorities and the Church of England Vision for Education.
  • Lead the development and implementation of robust quality assurance processes to ensure excellence in delivery and readiness for external evaluation.
  • Use data, evaluation, and research to drive continuous improvement and innovation across all programmes.

Team Leadership and People Management

  • Line manage team members, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and professional growth.
  • Support the development of a high-performing team through coaching, mentoring, and clear performance expectations.
  • Champion a values-led leadership culture that reflects the ethos of the National Society for Education and wider Church of England.

Programme Delivery and Operational Oversight

  • Oversee the full participant journey across all Flourishing Programmes, including recruitment, onboarding, retention, and completion.
  • Ensure effective systems and processes are in place to support delivery, including digital platforms, communications, and participant support.
  • Ensure all contractual elements of the UCL partnership are met in a timely and accurate manner, including KPI reporting and compliance.
  • Ensure Flourishing ECTE programme is ready for UCL monitoring, Ofsted or other external evaluations.
  • Lead on the resolution of complex operational issues, including participant transfers, deferrals, and reasonable adjustments.

Stakeholder Engagement and Partnership Working

  • Work closely with delivery partners, including UCL, and MAT/Diocesan networks, to ensure effective communication, training, and support.
  • Build and sustain relationships with key stakeholders across the education sector, including dioceses, MATs, and other national providers.
  • Drive growth and programme engagement/recruitment across regional areas by developing strong, strategic relationships with schools, trusts, and diocesan networks.
  • Represent the Flourishing Programmes on the national stage as an ambassador for our work, contributing to sector-wide conversations, networks, and events.
  • Work collaboratively with the leadership team and the Partnerships and Engagement Team to strategically strengthen, streamline, and equip our Delivery Partner network - ensuring consistency across programmes, a unified voice and building capacity to drive increasing participant demand.

Collaborative Leadership

  • Collaborate closely with the Head of Curriculum and Enablement and Head of NPQ Programmes as part of the Professional Learning Senior Leadership Team, reporting to the Head of Professional Learning.
  • Contribute to the development of a holistic and coherent professional learning offer that reflects the organisation's values and meets the needs of leaders across the system.
