CEO

WHST  is seeking to appoint an innovative, strategic and inspirational Chief  Executive Officer (CEO) to lead our Trust in its next stage of  development. In the first instance this is a 0.6 fte equivalent role but is expected to increase over time. 

A  small multi-academy trust based in the West of Hertfordshire, WHST was  founded in 2013 and comprises of three primary free schools - two in  Watford and one in Hemel  Hempstead. The schools opened in 2014 with reception children, are  still growing and will comprise of all year groups by 2020. The trust  aims to expand to between six and eight schools over the next few years. 

You  will be working with a strong team of Principals, each of whom came  into post in the last twelve months. They work well together and model  collaborative working across the Trust - which we see as the key to  effective delivery, particularly in supporting school improvement,  leadership development, and the provision of timely and effective support services for schools.
