Director of Education | Eastern Multi-Academy Trust (EMAT)
Leads: School Improvement Team and Principals/Headteachers
Are children receiving a better education and greater opportunities because their academy is part of EMAT?
That’s the question that will guide our next Director of Education, and we’re looking for an exceptional leader who wants to answer it every day.
This is a pivotal appointment at an exciting point in our Trust’s development. You’ll join the Executive Team as a full and influential member, leading our education strategy and school improvement function, with a relentless focus on equity, inclusion and outcomes for every child, especially disadvantaged pupils, those with SEND and those most at risk of underachieving.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the development and delivery of the Trust’s education strategy
- Drive school improvement and Ofsted readiness across all academies
- Hold executive responsibility for outcomes, closing gaps for vulnerable groups
- Build a culture of professional generosity, where every academy improves and every academy contributes
- Provide clear, evidence-based assurance to the CEO and Board of Trustees
What we’re looking for:
- QTS and a relevant degree
- Successful experience as a Headteacher, Principal or senior MAT executive
- A track record of leading improvement across more than one school, including moving schools from RI/Inadequate to Good or better
- Deep knowledge of Ofsted frameworks, SEND and inclusive practice, and the confident use of data to drive impact
- Strong moral purpose, integrity and the ability to combine high challenge with high support
This isn’t about inheriting a fixed model. We want someone who brings experience, curiosity and fresh thinking to help shape the next chapter of EMAT.
