Chief Executive Officer - Rise Multi Academy Trust

We are developing and maturing as a Trust. We are ambitious. We are evolving into a Trust that is led by schools for schools. Our headteachers and talented subject leaders play an active role in the Trust and school improvement. Our central team are committed to serving schools in a manner that enables them to be great schools, doing great things that enable every child in a Rise school to both 'flourish and succeed', and ensuring that our colleagues and communities thrive in a similar way
The Chief Executive Officer of Rise is the Accounting Officer. Their strategic leadership will deliver high standards, particularly in outstanding education and sustainable financial performance. In doing this, they bring our vision to life.
The successful candidate will possess excellent relational skills, comfortable directing the trust team, negotiating with DfE and Diocesan colleagues, working with leaders from other schools and trusts, and of course talking with children in the playgrounds of our schools!
Core to the role will be engaging with trust leaders to drive the trust's strategic development and deliver our recently updated strategic plan.

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of leading and motivating teams, succession planning, performance and financial management. Underpinning this will be the ability to always operate at the highest professional standards, acting as an exemplar role model of the Trust's values and behaviours.
A servant-hearted leader and role model, you will have a demonstrable understanding of the distinctive nature of Church of England education and how this affects the MAT's role, along with a commitment to Church of England Education and the mission of a Church of England MAT.
Above all, we require someone who is relentless in the pursuit and attainment of the highest quality of educational provision and the development of effective schools.

Rise Multi Academy Trust is seeking an outstanding strategic leader of education who will embrace the trust's vision, values, and ethos and will inspire and empower our team.
Rise is a family of schools, currently comprised of 26 CofE and Community primary schools. We work with and for each other.
Our vision and our values show how we place great importance on what we do and how we do it. Our values underpin our interactions with each other and strengthen our sense of family. Children are placed at the heart of everything we do.
