Rodillian Multi Academy Trust (RMAT) is seeking to appoint an inspiring Chief Executive Officer who will provide the strategic leadership and vision to ensure the continued success and growth of the Trust.
RMAT was established in September 2014. Since then, it has grown to five academies and an independent alternative provision school.
We are committed to doing things differently – creating schools that students want to attend, and where teachers want to work. Our experiences have seen us become very effective in supporting schools across the country in what we consider very challenging, but exciting times in education.
We follow the RMAT Ethos – a traditional approach to behaviour management, innovative curriculum design and excellence in teaching that delivers the best possible outcomes.
Ultimately, we raise aspiration levels for staff, students and schools by encouraging creativity in the classroom and by giving our staff freedom to experiment with their teaching. We strive to develop a growth mindset in each of our young people and our staff – a belief that intelligence is not fixed or inherited but can be improved if we learn from our mistakes and continually work hard.
This role is a career defining opportunity to lead a successful Trust. If you are looking for a strategic leadership role, collaborating with a successful team that puts young people first, we are confident that this is an opportunity you have been waiting for.
As Chief Executive of RMAT, you will work closely with the RMAT Board and the Executive team, you will take the lead role in achieving our strategic aims whilst nurturing relationships with all our academies and wider stakeholders. To grow RMAT, you will ensure that we have a successful school improvement offer that is targeted for maximum impact, widening our services, and building capacity.
You will be enthusiastic and inspiring with the gravitas to influence leaders, partners, and stakeholders, providing energy to drive RMAT in pursuit of excellence and equity with a relentless focus on improving teaching and learning.
You will ensure the financial strength of RMAT is maintained and enhanced, allowing RMAT to achieve its strategic aims and objectives by championing its people and moving forward the employer of choice agenda against the national difficulties in recruitment and retention.
To be successful in this post, you will need to demonstrate an ability to provide strategic leadership in a Trust bringing your experience in a similar organisation. You will need to evidence your personal impact and credibility.
You will be comfortable in establishing internal and external relationships at pace with local, regional, and national partners. Your leadership credibility will allow you to hit the ground running with experienced education professionals. This is a fantastic opportunity to build your profile in a nationally known trust. You will have the opportunity to positively influence the lives of thousands of young people and their families.
