Anila Recruitment is a specialist talent agency partnering with purpose-driven organisations across Early Years and Outside School Hours Care (OSHC)

Are you the leader educators turn to when they want to grow? This is a rare chance to shape practice in a service that puts pedagogy first, and to have a real voice in how it's led.

The Pedagogy Lead will join the leadership team at this new service, driving high-quality programming, mentoring teachers and educators, and guiding curriculum planning and implementation to the highest standards, supported by a highly regarded Early Learning provider.

This role isn't for everyone.

We are on the lookout for highly experienced, passionate, and confident leaders who are ready to take the next step in their teaching career in Early Learning. Our client has high standards of care, and those joining their leadership team need to share and uphold the same standards.

The opportunity

Leadership here is shared, not top-down: you'll own the educational side of the service while working alongside the Centre Director, who leads people and operations. Together you'll set the tone for the whole team.
