Looking for a job that actually fits around the school day?

We're growing the team at Pioneer Leadership and are looking for a new Operations Support Lead to join us in Wombourne.

🕤 Monday–Friday, 9:30am–2:30pm
📅 25 hours per week, primarily term time
📍 Wombourne, South Staffordshire

We're a small, growing business working with schools across the UK, delivering personal development programmes and expeditions in support of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

We're looking for someone organised, positive and dependable who enjoys keeping things moving and making sure nothing gets forgotten.

One minute you might be answering a question from a school, the next you're preparing information for an instructor, following up an enquiry, updating our systems or making sure equipment is ready for an upcoming programme.

You don't need to have worked in education before.

We're much more interested in finding someone who takes ownership, communicates well, likes being organised and isn't afraid to pick up the phone and get things sorted.

This is a new role with the opportunity to grow as Pioneer Leadership grows.
Sound like you – or someone you know?

Well done to Painsley Catholic College Silver DofE participants who had a super few days on their Silver Assessed expedition and were treated to some super views over the peaks (along with nearly every other weather too!).

We had a brilliant day on Friday supporting Ridgewood High School with RidgeCamp26 - a day full of team work, relationship development and belonging for the new Year 7 cohort, followed by tents up, ready for their evening camp!

A great day all around, thank you for another brilliant day!

Five Star Feedback

"A fantastic experience from start to finish. The team were professional, supportive and well organised throughout the Gold DofE programme. Communication was excellent, and the students had a really positive and memorable experience. Highly recommended!"

An important step in our delivery, is gathering feedback at the end of a programme. We work to support our schools, students and parents and having feedback like this, which reflects 'parents voice' means such a lot to us!

Super to be back at Q3 Academy Langley last week to run an enrichment taster session for some of their new Year 7 cohort, ahead of the weekly sessions we will be running throughout the year,

As part of their Key Stage 3 Enrichment Programme, we will be working with Year 7 on a range of personal development workshops, linked back to their involvement in schools including,

Teamwork
Communication
Leadership
Team Project

We’re really proud to be able to play a small part in, what is a fantastic programme that the school run, and we can’t wait to get to know Year 7 across the year,

Thanks to our instructor David, for grabbing a photo before the session started too! 📸

There are definitely worse ways to start day two of an expedition… 🌅

A beautiful red sky greeted the students from University College School as they started the second day of their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition.

It’s one of the things we love about running expeditions in the autumn.

Fresh early starts, cooler mornings and, every now and then, a view like this.

A pretty special way to start the academic year, and another day of adventure ahead. 🥾

A few highlights from a brilliant few days in South Wales! 🥾⛰️

Great to see another group of young people out on expedition, taking on the challenge, working together and making the most of some fantastic surroundings.

A big well done to everyone involved — and to the staff and instructors who helped make it happen! 👏

If your school runs The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and you’re looking for extra support with your expedition programme, we’d love to have a conversation.

From additional expedition staff through to more comprehensive expedition support, we can work alongside your school to provide the help you need.

Comment “EXPED” below and we’ll get in touch, or give us a call on 01902 943108.

It has been great to support Brownhills Ormiston Academy with their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s award again this year, well done on a super achievement!

MEMORIES ARE MADE & CHALLENGES OVERCOME AS OUR BRILLIANT GROUP OF DUKE OF EDINBURGH STUDENTS COMPLETE THEIR 2 DAY EXPEDITION!

🌅 Day 2 of the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Expedition is complete, with all students making an early 8am departure from camp.

🏕️ Beaudesert was left spotless as the teams set off for another day of challenging navigation and walking across Cannock Chase.

🥾 It was a day full of determination, resilience and, for some, a little friendly competition to see who could reach the finish first!

👏 All of the staff are incredibly proud of every student for the teamwork, independence and life skills they have developed throughout the expedition.

🌟 Mrs Moore will be looking for the next group of keen explorers when she launches the Bronze award to Year 8 before the end of this term!
