What skills and experience we're looking for

Waterton Academy Trust is seeking an outstanding candidate to join our team in the new role as Director of Standards, ideally starting from September 2024 (or sooner). The position of Director of Standards will be a pivotal role in enhancing leadership development, providing critical support, and offering strategic challenge to our headteachers.

This role presents an exciting chance to exert influence across the Trust, with a particular emphasis on maintaining high standards, enforcing safeguarding measures, and refining our educational offer. The appointee will collaborate closely with the CEO, DCEO and the Trust Central Team to uphold Waterton’s statutory and ethical responsibilities while achieving the strategic objectives established by the Board of Trustees.

The role would be a strategic role, but also a highly visible role in schools, leading school improvement alongside headteachers. We would be seeking to appoint someone with significant inspection experience, a track record of multiple successful headships, and someone with experience of leading and working in areas of high deprivation and high SEND, given our most challenging schools.

We are looking for dynamic and positive individuals who are driven to make an impact. The ideal candidate should be committed to achievement and believe strongly in inclusive education. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, motivated, and will significantly contribute to the Trust’s ongoing growth and development.
