Academy Improvement Lead

The Ascent Academies’ Trust comprises five special academies. This is an expanding Trust with all academies based in the North East of England. The Executive Team shares a strong, strategic view of all academies in the Trust and works in partnership to share best practice and improve outcomes for all students. 

The Board of Trustees are looking to appoint an experienced leader to join the leadership team within a Trust academy. The successful candidate will be an experienced leader, be able to develop others, having high expectations for performance, will improve Teaching & Learning and progress across the Trust and lead the team of middle leaders in the Trust providing CPD as appropriate. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a dynamic, positive and ambitious leadership team. This is a Trust wide post so the successful candidate could be required to work in any of the Ascent Trust academies.

The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people with Special Needs/Disabilities and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore will be subject to a DBS check from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
