You must have a track record in the education sector though, ideally, you will also have private sector experience. You will be a problem solver who can look forward, foresee challenges and pro-actively come up with effective solutions. The culture of the organisation suits people who, whilst capable of thinking strategically, will also be willing, when necessary, to roll their sleeves up and get stuck into the detail. Critically you will have a warm, engaging personality and a real empathy with the goals of Academy Transformation Trust.
This is an executive level role that offers the chance to play a key role in the future development of Academy Transformation Trust.
