Catholic Executive Officer (CEO)

All Saints Catholic Academy Trust (SW Herts)

Full-time appointment from September 2022

Competitive salary commensurate with experience

The Diocese of Westminster is seeking to appoint an exceptional individual who is able to develop and articulate the Catholic vision, values and ethos, and lead the strategic development of All Saints Catholic Academy Trust (ASCAT).

ASCAT was established as a Trust within the Diocese in 2012, initially with St Joan of Arc Catholic School as the only academy. Following the development of the Diocesan Academy Programme, and partnership work with schools within the local deanery over several years, ASCAT welcomed three primary schools into the Trust in May 2019.

The Trust has plans to expand significantly as it embraces additional Catholic schools over the next two years. Therefore, the Trust Board have determined that this should be a full-time appointment commencing in September 2022 to enable the CEO to focus on the necessary support and governance structures to enable successful transition.

Applications are invited from practising and committed Catholics, who are existing outstanding leaders. The successful candidate will also have the following attributes and experience:

• A strong track record in protecting and securing Catholic Education

• A highly collaborative approach to leadership

• The determination and resilience to make a positive difference

• An understanding of the current education landscape

• The ability to focus on delivering outstanding outcomes

• A strong financial acumen

• Proven ability to manage risk effectively
