Chief Executive Officer job summary

We’re looking for a new Chief Executive who can lead our dedicated and expert team to deliver the brightest possible future for every child, and put our extensive capacity to work in serving our communities. You will be responsible for achieving high standards of education, overseeing excellence across operations and governance, and maintaining our position as an employer of choice. Moreover, you’ll ensure we sustain our impressive reputation, and will have a particular focus on identifying (and securing) appropriate and sustainable opportunities for growth.

You will be accountable to trustees for ensuring that all students benefit from a rich and broad education, underpinned by the Trust’s community-based ethos and values. It's crucial that we create an environment in which pupils enjoy school; feel safe and fully supported; are inspired to learn, develop character and aspiration, and realise their full potential. We will look to you to oversee all aspects of the Trust’s operations, so that they reach or exceed the highest standards of performance, and you'll exemplify the strong self-improving culture which underpins the Trust. Growth that's sustainable, measured and benefits all parties is a key objective for is, and you'll identify and secure opportunities which align with our vision and strategy.

Candidates will appreciate both our progress so far, and our significant potential. You must share our values and ethos, and bring a complete professional repertoire, including the strategic and commercial skills required by this role. While you may not have been a headteacher, it's likely that you will have held a senior executive role in a school trust, educational charity or related organisation. Experience of inspecting, and/or a professional network that is relevant to this role, would be a distinct advantage.

An inspiring and credible system leader, with the respect of your peers and a strong track record of educational leadership and improvement, you’ll understand how to lead and grow a complex and ambitious organisation.

This is an exceptional opportunity to shape the next chapter of this successful and ambitious trust. Working closely with trustees and our experienced Executive Management Team, you will help our students, staff and communities to be the best they can be. There’s much to be proud of in our recent past, but we are committed to a culture of self-improvement and continually challenging ourselves to be better – if this is music to your ears, you could be an excellent fit.

The candidate we’re looking for is a rare combination of characteristics: professional and highly experienced, personally inspiring, deeply committed to serving their community, and a passionate advocate of the life-changing power of education. If that sounds familiar, we look forward to meeting you.
