The role will involve developing others within the LS team, monitoring and evaluating the delivery, and imparting expertise, coaching and informed training, in an articulate manner, to ensure the highest quality in partner school support. Tasks involve securing engagement from schools to access funded audits, support days, and training packages; evaluating partner school data and creating well planned milestone targets alongside the hub leadership team to ensure excellence in hub support for schools. I look forward to your potential interest in the Phase Leader opportunity.
