• Dynamic Adaptability: Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, fluid environment with evolving processes and shifting priorities.

Nice to have

• Motion Graphics: Experience in professional motion design and animation to bring static data, reports, and digital campaigns to life.
• Sector Expertise: Demonstrable experience delivering high-quality communication materials specifically related to international development, global advocacy, global health and/or mental health.

Marble Mayne Recruitment is delighted to be supporting a world-leading international education group in the appointment of a Head of Course Development for an exciting new strategic initiative.

This is a genuinely unique opportunity to join an organisation at the forefront of premium education and play a pivotal role in launching a brand-new self-paced learning offering. Rather than stepping into an established function, you'll have the rare opportunity to build an innovative educational product from the ground up, shaping how high-quality GCSE and A-Level courses are designed, developed and delivered for students across the world.

This is a fully remote role, open to candidates based anywhere in the UK, offering the flexibility to work from home while collaborating with an ambitious international team.

The Role

As Head of Course Development, you'll lead the creation of a new portfolio of self-paced GCSE and A-Level courses. You'll recruit and manage the course development team, establish quality standards and production processes, oversee instructional design, content development and assessment, and ensure delivery to ambitious project timelines.

Working closely with colleagues across product, operations and marketing, you'll help shape a market-leading online learning experience from concept through to launch. This is a rare opportunity to leave your mark on a completely new educational offering.

As the new product grows, there is also the potential for this role to evolve into a longer-term leadership position within the organisation.

About You

We're looking for an experienced education leader with a strong understanding of curriculum development and pedagogy, ideally across GCSE and A-Level. You'll bring experience leading course or curriculum development, managing educational teams, delivering complex programmes to fixed deadlines, and be someone who thrives in a fast-paced, build-from-scratch environment. Experience of online or asynchronous learning would be highly advantageous.

If you're excited by the prospect of building something from scratch, leading a talented team and helping shape the future of online education within a globally recognised organisation, we'd love to hear from you.

Freshwater Habitats Trust is the UK’s leading charity for all freshwaters. We are an evidence-led conservation organisation working to protect freshwater wildlife through practical, innovative and scientifically robust conservation projects across the UK and Europe.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Freshwater Habitats Trust’s New Forest team, delivering practical, landscape‑scale freshwater conservation projects across the National Park.

The role will focus on identifying, developing and delivering habitat creation and restoration projects to improve freshwater biodiversity at a catchment scale. This will include undertaking catchment walkover surveys to identify issues and opportunities, and working closely with landowners, technical specialists and a wide range of stakeholders to design and implement effective interventions—including habitat creation, restoration and nutrient management.

The postholder will lead on developing project work plans, securing necessary consents and licences, and managing contractors through delivery. Alongside this, the role will involve full project and financial management responsibilities, including budget oversight, reporting against targets, and liaising with funders.

Strong stakeholder engagement is key, with the role also representing the Trust at meetings and contributing to partnerships across the New Forest. This is a varied role combining practical conservation delivery with project leadership, offering the chance to make a meaningful impact on freshwater environments.

As Principal Policy Adviser (interim), you will collaborate with Uplift’s team and key partners to drive the design, development and delivery of work that generates influential policy and ideas addressing the challenges of a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK.

The successful candidate will have exceptional policy skills, an ability to think politically, and a keen interest in climate and energy-related policy and campaigns. A strong commitment to Uplift's mission and core values is also required.

This role is a 9 month long contract to cover a secondment within the team.

Core responsibilities will include:

• Policy: Lead Uplift’s policy work, spearhead the development and testing of innovative policy initiatives, and identify and work through knowledge gaps relevant to Uplift’s strategy.

• Advocacy and Network Support: Build capacity amongst other Uplift teams to understand the intersection of their work with policy topics and represent Uplift to policymakers and partner organisations.

Please see the job description for the full core responsibilities.

About You

Our ideal candidate will have: 

• Experience in a similar or related role.

• Strong knowledge of UK climate and energy policy (direct expertise in just transition, fossil fuels or renewables would be a significant advantage).

• Excellent research and analytical skills, with the ability to synthesise complex information quickly and accurately and a demonstrable ability to provide compelling and novel analysis.

• Exceptional writing and communication skills, with strong attention to detail and political nous.

• Motivation, initiative, exceptionally high standards, a collaborative approach, and associated qualities are needed to work in a dynamic organisation with an ambitious agenda.

• A strong commitment to Uplift’s mission and core values of equity and climate justice.

This is an opportunity to use your clinical, audit and quality improvement experience to influence the safety, effectiveness and consistency of services that support people affected by gambling harms.

As Clinical Audit and Improvement Manager, you will lead GamCare’s clinical audit programme and play a key role in helping teams understand what is working well, where improvements are needed and how learning can be embedded in practice. Working within the Quality and Safety Team, you will use audit findings, service data, feedback and lived experience insight to produce clear reports, practical recommendations and improvement plans that support continuous improvement across our clinical services.

You will work closely with Quality Leads, Service Managers, clinical teams and People and Organisational Development colleagues to make sure learning is shared, understood and applied. This will include planning and delivering audits, thematic reviews and evaluations; developing quality improvement tools and governance resources; supporting preparation for external audits or quality reviews; and designing training, workshops and Model of Care learning sessions that help colleagues apply best practice with confidence.

This is a role for someone who can combine analytical rigour with a collaborative, supportive approach. You will help turn evidence into action, supporting teams to reflect, learn and improve while keeping the needs and experiences of people affected by gambling harms at the centre of decision-making.

About you

You may already be working in clinical audit, quality improvement, service monitoring, clinical governance or service development within health, social care or the voluntary sector. You will bring experience of working in clinical services, ideally within addiction or mental health, and of delivering interventions such as psychosocial interventions, CBT or motivational interviewing.

You will be confident interpreting service data, audit findings and quality metrics, and translating them into reports, recommendations and learning that are clear, constructive and useful. You will understand how to engage busy clinical and operational teams, build trust and support reflective learning without losing sight of standards, risk and accountability.

We are looking for someone who communicates with sensitivity and clarity, enjoys working collaboratively and can help people see quality improvement as practical, meaningful and connected to better service delivery. You will also share GamCare’s commitment to inclusion, integrity and making lived experience central to our work.
