This senior leadership position is pivotal to our mission, overseeing the strategic direction and delivery of our work to transform the systems that impact refugee learners.
The Head of Education Change leads Pillar 3: Education Change, the branch of REUK dedicated to systemic transformation. Currently, the UK education systems lack overarching policy frameworks to support the integration of refugee learners, and there are key evidence gaps in what works best in education for refugee children. School leaders and teachers want to help, but lack the needed training and support. Good practice is often hidden and the expertise of young refugees is not considered in policy making.
As the Head of Education Change, you will be responsible for bridging these gaps. You will lead a multidisciplinary team to influence national policies, improve educational practices, and ensure that the expertise of young refugees is at the heart of decision-making. Your remit will span research and policy, advocacy, youth leadership, and training/capacity building to ensure that the good practice currently hidden in pockets of the UK becomes the standard across the board. This is a role for a strategic and humble leader who believes in working with, not just for, those with lived experience.
We are looking for a postholder able to operate from and maintain a posture of hope that things can and must be better for children and young people whose lives have been torn apart by war, and who is able to bridge divides in order to communicate how much this matters.
Education for a hopeful future: we enable refugee youth to access, remain and progress in education.
