We are seeking an Executive Director of Education (Primary) to work alongside the Executive Team.
As a key member of our Executive Team, you'll be responsible for improving the quality of provision across the Trust, ensuring that all academies are delivering the highest possible educational provision and achieving excellent outcomes for students.
The role of Executive Director of Education (Primary) is critical as we enter the next phase of our development. The postholder will be a “shoulder partner” to our headteachers, senior leaders, and staff teams across our family of schools. They will work closely with our Director of Education (Secondary) and will need to understand what school improvement looks like, possessing a passion for teaching and learning. Personally, you need to be collaborative, strategic, have emotional intelligence, a sense of humour, and be able to effectively coach, mentor, challenge, and support.
This post will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and be reportable to the Board of Trustees, holding overall responsibility for standards and outcomes in our Primary schools.
We are a small Trust that currently works across the Liverpool City Region, with plans to expand. Currently, we have two large Secondary schools and two Primary Schools: Deyes High School (Sefton), Childwall Sports and Science Academy (Liverpool), The Grange (Sefton), and Knotty Ash Primary (Liverpool). If you share the drive and ambition we have for our students, their families, and the community, then we would like to hear from you.
Lydiate Learning Trust has a very strong Board of Trustees who are exceptionally committed, offering challenge and support in equal measure. Their skills and professional background are diverse, and they work well together as a team. They have a clear vision, values, and strategic direction. Ultimately, it is correct to say that the Trustees share our vision that children only get one chance and deserve the very best start in life.
Lydiate Learning Trust is financially stable and can provide services to all of our schools in-house.
As CEO, I am supported by a very strong Executive team. The postholder will join this team alongside the Director of Education (Secondary), Director of People and Culture, Director of Finance and Operations, Director of Strategic Partnerships, and the Executive PA/Project Manager. The postholder will line manage the school improvement team (Primary) and work to drive teams further to benefit everyone within the Trust.
