A unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on pupils and schools across The Mast Academy Trust

Are you passionate about securing the very best outcomes for children?

Do you have a proven track record of improving attainment and progress at Key Stage 2?

Are you an experienced educational leader who wants to have a wider impact beyond a single school?

The Mast Academy Trust is seeking to appoint a Trust Development Lead for KS2 Outcomes to lead an exciting Trust-wide project focused on strengthening provision, improving outcomes and establishing a clear and ambitious offer for pupils in Years 5 and 6 across our family of schools

This role offers a unique opportunity to work with Headteachers, senior leaders and teachers across the Trust to identify and share best practice, develop leadership capacity and secure sustainable improvements in teaching, learning and outcomes

We are particularly interested in hearing from:

• Current or former Headteachers.
• Experienced senior leaders with a strong track record of school improvement.
• Leaders who have successfully improved outcomes at Key Stage 2.
• Experienced Year 6 practitioners with a proven record of excellence.
• Recently retired school leaders who are looking for an opportunity to continue making a difference.
• Individuals currently working in schools or trusts who could be released on a part-time secondment arrangement to undertake this work.
• Professionals who are passionate about coaching, mentoring and developing others.

What can we offer?

• The opportunity to influence outcomes for children across multiple schools.
• A chance to shape and define the Trust's future KS2 strategy and provision.
• The opportunity to work alongside a team of highly collaborative and supportive leaders.
• The ability to leave a lasting legacy through sustainable school improvement.
• Flexibility in how the role is delivered, including consideration of secondment arrangements.
• A well-established Trust culture built on collaboration, support and professional growth.
• The opportunity to share expertise, develop others and help build capacity for the future.

Whether you are an experienced Headteacher looking for a fresh challenge, a recently retired leader wanting to remain connected to the profession, or an outstanding practitioner or senior leader seeking a Trust-wide development opportunity through a secondment arrangement, we would love to hear from you.

Help us create exceptional outcomes for every Year 5 and Year 6 pupil across The Mast Academy Trust.
