Discover Your Potential with RISE Consulting Ltd

When strategic priorities need to move forward but leadership capacity is stretched, I provide focused, hands-on support to keep momentum high. I take ownership of key strategic areas, bring targeted specialist expertise, and work in partnership with your team to guide delivery—right through to full implementation where needed.  

I work collaboratively with leaders and practitioners to design and develop high-quality, future-focused curricula. This includes: 

• Understanding the impact of curriculum change 
• Curriculum design and planning 
• Identifying and engaging key stakeholder partners 
• Establishing relationships with external agencies 
• Assessing staffing capacity and skills gaps 
• Supporting resource development and identifying requirements 
• Costing delivery models for long-term financial sustainability 

Preparing for external quality audits can be challenging, particularly when staff do not feel confident during external audits. I support teams at all levels to: 

• Demystify the audit process and remove misconceptions 
• Build confidence in articulating their provision clearly and accurately 
• Understand quality expectations and how to evidence them 

I also support organisations to identify strengths and development areas within their provision, and develop action plans that drive swift, measurable impact. 

Working as a critical friend to provide constructive challenge and guidance in areas such as: 

• Reviewing systems and processes to identify efficiencies 
• Analysing data to highlight strengths, trends, and areas for improvement 
• Identifying potential areas for growth and development 
• Reviewing or drafting policies and procedures 

Providing support to organisations with all aspects of the self-assessment cycle, including: 

• Facilitating team-based self-assessment activities 
• Reviewing the robustness, validity, and clarity of judgements 
• Analysing data and reporting processes to identify trends, anomalies, and areas for development 
• Conducting case sampling with quality, curriculum, and pastoral teams to triangulate and test practice 

Mentoring support for emerging and aspiring leaders, helping them navigate the challenges of: 

• Meeting business needs 
• Driving high performance 
• Maintaining high levels of customer and stakeholder satisfaction

Where organisations experience vacancies due to long-term absence, maternity leave, or transitional periods, I can offer short-term interim leadership support to maintain continuity and momentum.
