About

Why we set up Aligned Pathway.

Aligned Pathway was set up because we saw a gap that needed filling. Schools, nurseries, charities and small businesses often need experienced senior support for a short period — a review, a project, a stretch of cover, or a practical fix — without the cost or commitment of a permanent senior hire. Generic advice does not help them. They need someone who has done the work, who can come in with a clear brief, and leave behind something a busy chair, head, owner or chief executive can actually use.

Aligned Pathway is led by Tilly, who has extensive experience in business management, finance, HR, governance and operations, including leading capital build projects. That work has covered payroll, company secretarial support, compliance, safeguarding administration, data protection, health and safety, and IT and cyber security.

We bring that experience into a clearly scoped piece of work, at a fixed price, written in plain English. We do not take on work where we have an existing governance or employment connection.

How we work

Most first engagements are a Governance Health Check, an Operational Improvement Sprint, or an Inspection-Readiness Check. Longer, fractional or retained work can follow, and is priced in a written proposal rather than on this website.

We work with schools, nurseries and early years settings, charities, and small and medium-sized enterprises. We will tell you if we are not the right fit for the brief.

Our work is practical operational, governance and HR support; we do not provide legal, financial or other regulated advice.
