Adult education body Holex has appointed Caroline McDonald as its first chief executive officer.
Birmingham-born McDonald arrives from Birkbeck, University of London, where she has worked as director of access and engagement for the past six years.
Up until now, Holex has been run by policy director Sue Pember and a board of governors. But Pember announced in February the organisation had created the CEO position amid an “increased demand” for its services.
Holex was looking for a “dynamic and experienced” person with a “deep understanding” of the adult community education landscape, according to the job description.
