Fixed-term contract for 6 months to start 16 March

Are you an experienced communications leader ready to make a national impact? We’re looking for an exceptional Interim Head of PR and Communications to guide and elevate our work over the next six months as we enter an exciting new chapter.

About us

The National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) has an unswerving commitment to high-quality, evidence-informed teacher education, and is on a mission to improve the quality of teacher and leader development across the system.

About the role

This is a unique opportunity to shape the voice of the national institute, ensuring our research, insights, and mission are communicated with clarity, creativity, and authority.

You will bring outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas to a diverse range of audiences — from teachers and policymakers to media, government stakeholders, and the wider public.

What we’re looking for

  • A senior communications professional with significant experience in strategic leadership.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a talent for conveying complex ideas clearly and compellingly.
  • Proven ability to operate at pace, manage multiple priorities, and influence senior stakeholders.
  • Experience working with media, government, or national organisations (education sector experience is an advantage).
  • A collaborative, confident leader who can quickly embed, build strong relationships, and guide a high-performing team.

Key benefits

Generous Annual Leave – 27 days’ holiday a year (plus 8 bank holidays) rising to 33 days after five years’ service.

Flexible Working – we offer flexible start and end working times, with hybrid working in place for all roles.

Pension - Entry to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Salary Sacrifice Schemes – we offer salary sacrifice schemes for bikes, cars and tech!

Lifestyle Benefits – We offer discounts on gyms, cinema, retail and much more!

Parenthood Leave – We offer above the statutory minimum for maternity, adoption and paternity leave.

Working Environment – We have a stimulating, supportive and rewarding working environment with a dedicated team of likeminded professionals.

Support - Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provides confidential support for employees on personal or work-related matters.

Development - We fully support the development of our staff and ensure that you have high level of continuous professional development.

We think a wide range of different work and educational experiences could support you to be successful in this role. We encourage applications from all backgrounds, communities and industries, and are committed to employing a team that has diverse skills, experiences and abilities. 

If you have any queries about this role, please contact our recruitment team.

To apply, please send a CV and cover letter.

Closing date: 5.00pm on 11 February 2026.

We reserve the right to close the advertisement early should we receive a high volume of suitable applications. We therefore encourage you to apply at your earliest convenience to avoid disappointment.
