You will have a track record of building organisational cultures where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, diversity is celebrated, and everyone is empowered and enabled to be the best they can be.

If you have a passion to improve the lives of young people, and the experience and drive to lead an exceptional team of Operations staff to expand DofE's reach and ensure every young person has a high-quality, impactful DofE experience, we would love to hear from you.
