What skills and experience we're looking for
The Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust is a multi-academy trust formed by the Diocese of Lincoln. We are a family of 23 schools brought together by a shared vision to improve the life chances of all our children through Excellence, Exploration, Encouragement within a distinct ethos. Established as a multi academy trust by the Diocese of Lincoln in December 2013, we are a unique organisation that celebrates the individuality of every school whilst promoting an uncompromising belief in the power of collaboration to support all our c4000 pupils to be the best they can be.
The Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust has an exciting opportunity to appoint an Education Development Advisor to work with its diverse range of academies across the Diocese of Lincoln.
We are seeking to appoint an experienced and innovative individual to join our supportive central Education Team. The successful candidate will have a proven track record of leading school improvement and be committed to the development of outstanding schools.
Our Education Development Advisor (EDAs) are a pivotal part of our central team, supporting and advising schools on how to move their schools on in the next step of their improvement journey. EDAs have a breadth and depth of expertise, and the successful candidate will be able to contribute to and enhance this offer with a proven track record of tangible impact in schools, including the improvement in strong outcomes for children in secondary education.
We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with experience in leading Church Schools and Curriculum Design.
Candidates with a specialism in SEND are welcomed.
In our schools, we aim to build strong and cohesive partnerships with the central team; EDAs are a critical part of this and therefore excellent interpersonal and communications skills are a must. Along with this, EDAs need to have strong coaching skills to enable and empower school leaders to problem solve and develop leadership, at all levels, within their schools.
The successful candidate will need to be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of the move from school-based leadership to leadership over a portfolio of schools and the very different functions of leadership within the role of an EDA.
Supporting schools with their professional development is a key part of the role of EDA. Whether this is signposting schools to tailored CPD to meet their school improvement needs or creating bespoke CPD for a school or group of schools.
Therefore, the successful candidate will have experience of creating and leading on development in schools with proven impact on outcomes for children.
As a Diocesan MAT, we uphold the Church of England’s Vision for Education and are looking for someone to join our team who can support not only this but our own vision for Education, celebrating the Christian Distinctiveness of our schools.
