Regional Director – Secondary Academies job summary
United Learning is a group of schools which aims to provide excellent education and improve the life chances of all the children and young people we serve. As one of our Regional Directors for our growing portfolio of secondary academies, you could be at the helm of that ambition.
With the overarching ethos of ‘bringing out the best in everyone’, our collaborative team of Regional Directors are committed to making a transformative impact on the lives of thousands of children and young people. Join us, and you will be entrusted with leading the improvement of a number of our secondary academies, working with school leaders to raise standards and enhance their progress. Passionate about supporting the most exceptional educational opportunities for children, you will deliver the Group’s strategy and vision, translating this into practical guidance and solutions that are individually tailored to each school’s unique requirements.
On a day-to-day basis, we will expect you to line-manage a number of Headteachers. Reporting to the Director of Secondary Education, you will use your previous experience as a Headteacher to support school leaders in developing improvement provisions, often in challenging contexts. We know that the educational profession isn’t easy, but at United Learning, we work as a team, achieving more by collaborating than any single school could on their own. Utilising collective knowledge and facilities to drive visionary results, you will therefore simplify work processes and implement ambitious support programmes, making the most of sector-leading subject specialists, a group-wide curriculum, our group-wide intranet and extensive CPD opportunities. With this support behind you, you will focus on the practicalities of elevating each of your academies to the highest standards. You will be firmly aligned with the ‘United Learning Way’ which outlines the guiding educational principles of our Trust.
