Job Overview Due to the retirement of the founding CEO, Aspire Schools seeks an experienced senior leader to build on the excellent foundations already in place, driving the Trust on the next phase of its journey. Aspire Schools is a family of three Alternative Provision schools, two permanent-stay SEMH schools, one short-stay SEMH school, an outreach provision and a primary forest school intervention. We also run a creative arts charity, Aspire for Young People, providing opportunities beyond the traditional statutory education offer. This is an exciting time to be joining the Trust, where you will be joining a team of skilled and dedicated staff who are committed to supporting every young person both academically and as a human being. We are looking for the new CEO to be an inspirational leader for the Trust, to support every member of staff in their mission to improve the life chances of disadvantaged young people, and to lead on the strategic growth and sustainability of Aspire. We employ a team of extraordinary people who change lives. Our work matters. If your values and experience align with what we are looking for, we would love to hear from you. If you would like to hear more about this opportunity, have a confidential conversation or arrange a visit to our Trust, please contact our retained consultant Ross Laird at rlaird@academicis.co.uk or via 07901 585959.
