These hires are part of the further development of the Group’s management team and strengthening of the Board. The trust is now seeking someone for the newly created role of Director of Secondary Schools.

Our Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will undertake an Enhanced Disclosure via the DBS.
