**Those huge small victories**

Whether our young people want to be an astronaut or an artist or anything in between, we are completely committed to helping them realise futures that are out of this world.

As the leading independent specialist educational provider, we believe that young people should be judged by the person they become, and not the box they tick.

A key aspect of the role will be in building relationships, not just with students and school staff, but also parents/carers and also employer partners.

We don’t just want any business, we want the right role models who will inspire and raise aspiration in our young people. In turn, this new role requires the right person to make it their own and help us truly deliver aspirational futures to our young people.
