Job overview
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF ENHANCE ACADEMY TRUST
Required for September 2020
Salary circa £90,000 and based in the centre of Wakefield at WF1 1LP
Enhance Academy Trust is a Church of England MAT established in 2012 and is based in Kirklees and Wakefield. We have ten primary academies within the Trust and a post 16 creative arts and performing arts free school.
Our current CEO is retiring at the end of 2020, having been with the Trust since 2012, and therefore the Board of Trustees are seeking to appoint a successor to lead our Trust through its next stages of development.
Our vision is simple: Enhance Academy Trust aims to deliver improved educational outcomes and learning skills to enable our young people to live well in the world around them. We also aim to allow our academy leaders and staff to develop the individual character of our academies so they can best serve their local communities.
As a Trust, we want every young person to experience great teaching, so we place the highest value on developing colleagues at all levels. We have made good progress since our formation, but we always want to do better so there are still many rewarding challenges to face. We want the Trust to grow and build upon its success to date and to further develop the cohesiveness of the Trust’s family of schools and staff.
The CEO reports to, and is supported by, a committed group of Trustees who work with the Local Governing Bodies.
We are looking for an exceptional candidate, preferably with previous experience of working within an academy trust or an education management position, who shares our vision. If you have the skills, experience and abilities to become the new CEO of our Trust, then we would very much welcome your application.
If you would like an information pack, please download below. Visits to the Trust or discussions with Kevin Jones, our current CEO, prior to the application deadline are welcomed. Please contact Emilie Miller on 01924 434452 to arrange a date and time.

Welcome to Enhance Academy Trust. We are a Church of England Multi-Academy Trust comprising of eleven primary schools located across Wakefield and Kirklees and a post 16 performing arts free school. The Trust was established in 2012 as a sponsor of Church of England and Community Schools that needed support and eight of its eleven primary academies have been sponsored or transferred into the Trust.
The Trust works very closely with its academies and encourages them to help each other whilst at the same time allowing them a reasonable amount of autonomy. It has kept to this model whilst expanding and wants to continue to follow similar principles in the future.
Our vision is to deliver improved educational outcomes and learning skills to enable our young people to live well in the world around them. We also aim to allow our academy leaders and staff to develop the individual character of our academies so they can best serve their local communities.
