Our intent is to deliver a cohesive, integrated and personalised curriculum in order to train high quality teachers. This intent runs through everything we do from recruitment, through our training in partnership and into employment. The most important factor to us is that whoever joins our team is willing to embrace our culture and ethos, and be prepared to drive and implement change that ensures the best outcomes for our trainees.

Our vision is to educate the educators of the future.

We are currently recruiting for the role of Operations Manager based in our central London office in the heart of Soho.  The main purpose of this role is to support the journey of all Initial Teacher Training (ITT) trainees and schools, from their initial offer of a training place to Qualified Teacher Status and their end point assessment.   An understanding of ITT or apprenticeships would be highly advantageous but not essential.

A sense of humour will always be welcome.

Compliance

Communication

• Your team would be the central cog in the e-Qualitas wheel so it will be important that you can evidence examples where you have worked with multiple stakeholders both internal and external to provide a first class service. The ability to problem solve and create and implement new procedures, is key.

Company Goals

• You will provide key support to the Operations Director and the Programme Director on all ITT issues and work closely with the National Partnership Manager to ensure that the operations team are able to deliver on company targets.
