We are seeking an exceptional Head of Learning, Skills, and Network Enablement to spearhead our skill-building strategy, empowering millions to gain the connection, confidence, and AI literacy required to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world.

You will be a visionary strategic architect and collaborative team builder, adept at translating complex educational needs into high-impact, hybrid learning offers and pioneering digital platforms. You will thrive on driving systemic change: taking cutting-edge skills propositions to market, acting as our authoritative external voice on digital exclusion, and securing transformative investments—from high-value partner funding to co-designed public sector initiatives.

This pivotal role leads the delivery of our flagship skills programmes and shapes the future of our 5,000+ strong National Digital Inclusion Network. By bringing clear strategic vision, data-informed decision-making, and an adaptable growth mindset to our leadership team, you will strengthen community capacity, champion learner voices, and position Good Things Foundation for a sustainable, innovative, and deeply impactful future.

Role description

Good Things Foundation is the UK's leading digital inclusion charity, working to ensure everyone can benefit from digital. We’re building a society where everyone can participate in a digital world. We want digital inclusion to be a fundamental part of how our country works: with digital inclusion baked in, not bolted on. And where every sector steps up so that people can use technology to improve their lives. We want to collaborate to change the lives of millions - creating digital inclusion at scale, harnessing evidence and innovation, and fixing the systems that hold people back.

This role will develop and lead a new strategic function reshaping the organisation's skills offer for both independent and supported learners, and enhancing capacity and connectedness across our nationwide network in order to help deliver on our mission of digital inclusion.
