We tackle negative attitudes towards numeracy, influence public policy and offer practical ways of helping adults and children to build their confidence and competence with numbers. We work directly with individuals as well as through employers such as the NHS, community groups and the formal education system.

To maximise the impact of the next stage of our development, we are looking for an ambitious and visionary CEO who is excited by the opportunities associated with this high profile role. As well as experience of driving transformational growth you will have a proven ability to cultivate strong long term relationships with a wide range of partners and the ability to inspire other organisations to support us to achieve our vision.
