Today, (11th May), the PSHE Association begins its search for a new Chief Executive to take up the baton from Joe Hayman. After three and a half years in the role, Joe will be leaving the Association later this year to explore new opportunities.
Joe joined the Association in 2012 and has led the organisation to achieve significant growth in its membership, income, size and reach while building unprecedented cross-sector support for raising the status of the subject.
During the last three and a half years, the Association’s membership and income have tripled, significantly increasing its ability to support PSHE education practitioners across the country. At the same time, a coalition of over 100 leading bodies have joined the campaign for statutory status for PSHE, along with the Chief Medical Officer, the Children’s Commissioner, the national police lead for child sexual exploitation, 85% of business leaders, 88% of teachers, 91% of parents and 92% of young people.
