• Entrepreneurial Drive: A self-starter with a proactive, resourceful, and results-focused attitude. Must be comfortable steering a ship with no to limited initial resources.

• Exceptional People Skills: A natural leader and motivator who can build trust, delegate effectively, and inspire a team of passionate, remote and site based volunteers.

• Strategic & Organised: Proven ability to manage complex project plans, prioritise effectively, and deliver multiple deliverables under pressure.

• Commitment to Mission: An unwavering passion for youth social mobility and a deep understanding of the challenges facing young people in London's deprived areas.
