Job overview

Following the resignation of our founding CEO, our Trust seeks to appoint an outstanding and ambitious individual. This opportunity creates a new path forward, evolving our strategic plan and growth ambition with fresh insight, experience, and influence. It will be a rewarding role but not without challenge, one which we believe wholeheartedly will make a difference not only to you but also to every student and member of staff in our Trust and to the communities they serve.

Established in 2016 and now with 8 schools across 9 sites, our growing Trust has built a vision for a culture of continuous improvement. We set high standards to ensure all of our schools know what excellence in education looks like and how to chart a course to achieve and embed this. The Trust Board has built capacity within the Central Team to lead this work.

Our three core values are Students First, Cherishing Staff and Serving Communities. We take seriously our role as an educational charity and the impact we have not only today in the communities we serve but the future generations we are helping to develop.  

We have built our Trust on a Hub Model, currently with two Hubs in Somerset and North Somerset. Our ambition seeks to grow these hubs further whilst being committed to attain Outstanding Ofsted Inspections for every school within the Trust. We have a well-established and strong business model with key functions centralised and this has led us to being stable and ambitious.

We are looking for someone with proven leadership skills and with an entrepreneurial outlook to achieve all of this and to help shape and to realise the vision of the Board in the Trust’s next phase.

If you have any queries or would like to discuss any aspect of the role, please contact Ross Laird at Academicis for a confidential conversation on 07901 585959 or via email at rlaird@academicis.co.uk.
