Senior Education Adviser (Primary)

With 32 academies in areas of social and economic deprivation, the Greenwood Academies Trust is a powerful force for change. We want to give every child the chance to succeed, whatever the obstacles, and we’re committed to innovation and best practice in everything we do. 

After a period of rapid improvement, 88% of our Primary academies are now judged as Good or better by Ofsted (November 2017) with outcomes rising at all Key Stages. However, this is just the beginning of our journey to ensure every primary aged child in the Trust receives an outstanding quality of education. 

We are looking to recruit a Senior Education Adviser (Primary) to work across the East Midlands supporting and challenging a family of Primary academies within the Trust. 

Working closely as part of the Education Directorate and also with Directors, you’ll support, challenge and manage Principals across your region to drive improvement and transform the learning experience. It’s a unique challenge, requiring vision, diplomacy and the flexibility to think differently every day. An essential part of the role is the ability to plan and lead Trust wide training and development through our Learning Alliance. 

Your experiences will ensure you are skilled in driving change and deeply understand both the ethos and the practicalities of whole school improvement. Naturally, you’ll be adept at operating in challenging environments, aware of the issues facing children and teachers in deprived areas, and passionate about transforming results, careers and lives. 

Put simply, our children, Principals and teachers are among the best, so we need truly exceptional people to take them – and us – to the next level. In return, we can offer unrivalled scope to make a difference, an excellent senior management package and a career that can take you anywhere you want to go.

Interview date: w/c 12th March 2018.
