Interim Executive Leadership (FE)

You might need interim support to fill a temporary leadership gap, mobilise a major programme, lead a period of transformation or simply add experienced senior capacity when your existing team is stretched. I can step in quickly, provide focused leadership and help move priorities from ambition into delivery.
​
Previous interim roles include Digital Curriculum Manager, Director of Digital Transformation & Skills, Assistant Principal, and Director of Digital Technical Excellence College. I've worked with a range of highly respected education recruitment agencies, including FEA, Real Staffing and Dovetail and Slate.
