Regional Director job summary
This is an exciting and rare opportunity to join one of the country’s most established national MATs, leading a region and, dependent upon your interests and experience, also taking responsibility for aspects of network strategy. You would join a team of exceptional school leaders and national experts in curriculum and teacher development, all working together to build sustainable excellence in all of our schools.
Our secondary schools are currently organised into 3 separate regions, each led by a Regional Director. This opportunity arises from the promotion of our existing Regional Director to Director of Secondary, and we are seeking to find an exceptional leader to oversee our schools primarily in North and West London.
As a Regional Director, you will have overall responsibility for developing and implementing the strategic educational vision for the schools across a region. Directly responsible for the target setting and performance of your region, you will ensure that principals and senior leaders receive the appropriate balance of challenge, support and professional development to deliver sustainable excellence.
A member of the Ark Schools Leadership team, you will work closely with our other Regional Directors, our Director of Secondary and our Director of Education to align all schools in an unwavering commitment to delivering an entitlement for all students that secures exceptional achievement for all, regardless of background or ability.
You will lead on the design, development and promotion of the education offer for the region, and as appropriate, you will also lead on aspects of the wider network strategy. As a highly influential advocate for the region, you will work closely with the region’s senior leaders to strengthen the profile of Ark and each of our schools with parents, stakeholders and the entire community we serve.
