Overview
Chief Education Officer (CEdO) for Ethos Academy Trust. Salary: L25- L31: £89,830-104,040. Contract: Full time - full year. Location: Ethos Academy Trust. Office base at Reach Academy, Batley. This role requires significant travel to various school sites and should not be considered office-based. However, aspects of remote work are supported, offering flexibility where possible.
We are looking to appoint an experienced and motivated Chief Education Officer to improve and support young people’s education. The Trust comprises five Alternative Provision Academies and a specialist Free School based in Yorkshire. Our story began in 2018 when our three founding Kirklees schools (Ethos College, Reach Academy and Engage Academy) formed Ethos Academy Trust. Since then, the Trust has doubled the number of Academies, whilst quadrupling pupil numbers. We are a mixed community of Alternative Provisions and a Special School, operating across three Local Authorities within West and South Yorkshire. Our work extends beyond our Academies to add value to the wider system through the offer of support to other schools and associated services. We celebrate and support the uniqueness of our academies in meeting the needs of their local communities. Our nurturing ethos, underpinned by our clear mission, vision and core values, enables our pupils, their families and our staff teams to thrive. We provide extensive support and educational opportunities for pupils with social, emotional and mental health SEMH and wider needs. Trust staff work in partnership with schools, parents/carers and other professionals to support and promote the educational and social inclusion of pupils.
The Chief Education Officer role is also de facto Deputy CEO of the Trust. As such, you will provide strategic leadership, working collaboratively to shape the future of the Trust and its school communities. You will support the Chief Executive in driving the Trust through its next phase of growth and development.
In this role, you will have overall responsibility for the Trust’s Education Strategy and the performance of all schools within the Trust. You will also directly oversee all Headteachers and members of the School Improvement team.
We are seeking an experienced individual who is relentless in their focus on school improvement and is open to new ideas and innovations. We require someone who can demonstrate diligence, tenacity, enthusiasm, drive and self-motivation and respond positively to pressure whilst maintaining accessibility and consistency.
