Job overview
A CALL TO ACTION
Do you believe that the most challenging, often most vulnerable students deserve an education that nurtures their talents, ignites their interests and develops their skills to lead successful, productive lives?
Would you be relentless in ensuring that your students got the best teachers and best resources in the most effective learning environment to support them to re-engage, to take risks and to grow in confidence and self-esteem?
Olive AP Academy - Thurrock is looking for an exceptional individual, from any school background, who is passionate about their vision for alternative provision and has the strategic skills and expertise to deliver on our high expectations. If you are the type of leader who is motivated to make a difference and tackles challenges effectively then this is the right role for you. A new vision for the Academy has been created. The move to the £4.25million new building, designed by pupils, staff, the Local Authority and the Olive Academies Trust which takes place in June this year provides the Academy with the platform to improve quickly.
This is a key senior appointment for the recently formed but highly regarded multi-academy trust. You will work very closely with the CEO and play an integral role in shaping the strategic future of the Academy and Trust.
