This is a hugely exciting time to be joining the organisation, and as we pivot from turnaround mode to becoming a high performance organisation on the pathway to sustainable excellence, we are kicking off a major recruitment drive. This will see us building our in-house education improvement capacity and expertise, making sure that our schools have all the support they need to deliver an excellent education for every child, every day.
Great teachers make a difference and are fundamental for the success of our schools. Our expectations are high and we want to support and develop the next generation of teachers to ensure the very best outcomes for our young people.

This will see us really ramping up the support we provide and the pace of school improvement and development work across the trust. This role offers a unique opportunity to join our organisation and be part of this exciting journey.
