Job Introduction
Infinity Academies Trust is seeking a Chief Education Officer.
About this Role
Infinity Academies Trust, a growing family of primary academies across Lincolnshire, is looking for our inaugural Chief Education Officer, 52 weeks contract with annual leave entitlement and competitive salary.
Our Trust currently supports 16 schools across the county, and over recent years we have done a great deal for our communities. Results are strengthening, our Ofsted profile is improving and, crucially, we are doing more to support our children and our families.
In fact, to get an understanding of strengths and achievements, we would encourage to read our latest impact report and watch the video below. We hope that they provide an understanding of what makes our Trust the organisation that it is.
That all being said, we know that there is more we can and should be doing.
That is why we have created this brand-new role. It is a genuinely exciting opportunity for someone to come and help write our next chapter and shape the life chances of nearly 3,000 young minds.
To achieve this, we are looking for an individual with bold ideas, a strong sense of community and the ability to continue to galvanise our school leaders. The preferred candidate must have a strong track record of helping schools to thrive and be able to demonstrate the experience, understanding and vision to help our Trust respond to the changes that are taking place across the sector.
It is a hugely exciting and important role for us.
To support you, we have a culture where we do not lose sight of how important our colleagues are to helping us achieve our ambitions for our pupils. Our staff survey results continually show that people feel valued and supported working for us. In fact, we significantly exceed the national averages on nearly all benchmarks – ranking particularly highly for the percentage of staff who feel part of being in the trust is beneficial, are excited by their work, and believe they are part of a strong community.
As Chief Education Officer, you will join our executive leadership team and play a key role in embedding our vision across the Trust. You will also work collaboratively with Headteachers, school leadership teams, and central services to deliver consistent school improvement whilst respecting the unique context of each academy.
In return we can offer you a great place to work, the opportunity for some hybrid working, continuous professional development, access to employee assist programme.
