Oversee quality assurance, self-assessment, and continuous improvement processes across all programmes (including Apprenticeships, AEB, and ESF-funded provision).
*
Act as a key Ofsted nominee, ensuring compliance and readiness for inspection.
*
Develop and embed strategies for observations of teaching, learning, and assessment (OTLA).
*
Ensure inclusive curriculum design and learner support, including SEND and disadvantaged groups.
*
Produce high-quality reports for SLT and the Board, using data-driven insights to celebrate success and identify risks.
About You
You’re a confident and credible leader who combines operational excellence with strategic vision. Proven senior leadership experience in quality and compliance within apprenticeships, work-based learning, or adult education.
*
Deep understanding of the Ofsted Education Inspection Framework (EIF).
*
A recognised teaching and/or assessing qualification, ideally with IQA status.

Experience leading self-assessment reports (SAR) and quality improvement plans (QIP).
*
Strong stakeholder management, influencing, and communication skills.
*
Analytical mindset, able to use data to inform quality strategy.
