Advert text
With more than 17,000 children and young people in 42 schools, GLF Schools is one of the largest and most successful Multi-Academy Trusts in the country working across 7 local authority areas in southern England. Each school has its own distinct character which is respectful of its community and context but is united by a collective GLF culture that is genuinely child-centred and aims to provide children with an excellent and fulfilling education that will enable them to flourish.
Founding CEO Jon Chaloner is standing down after 11 outstanding years and GLF Schools is now seeking an exceptional leader to be its next CEO. Following a period of growth over the last decade, the Trust is now undergoing significant change as it seeks to create structures and processes that will enhance the Trust’s ability to deliver on its values and mission. The new CEO will be responsible for delivering the Trust strategy and shaping its ongoing development. As well as overseeing all operations of the Trust, the CEO will work to build strategic partnerships with a range of stakeholders both internally and externally to ensure both strong educational outcomes for children and the sustainable future of the Trust.
The successful candidate will be an experienced, dynamic and collaborative leader, who can drive forward the Trust’s Strategic Plan and develop GLF Schools in ways that will bring increased consistency and effectiveness across the organisation, both operationally and educationally, to maximise the benefits of being a large Trust. They will demonstrate exceptional interpersonal and communications skills, as well as sound judgement and resilience. With a background that could include both primary and secondary phase experience, they will ideally also have experience of organisational transformation at scale. They will be aligned with the Trust’s vision and values and passionate about improving the life chances of children and young people through education and experiences.
