Central Region Schools is a unique and exceptional Trust of 13 schools serving over 7000 young people, many in areas of high deprivation.
Originally founded by the Royal Society of Arts (The RSA), and with a consistent legacy of enhancing lives, our mission of ‘social justice through exceptional schools’ seamlessly aligns with that of the RSA’s, driving us to elevate educational excellence throughout our schools.
Staying true to the principles of our founding organisation, we take a practical view of social justice, moving from powerful thinking into practical action. We consider how our people, places and processes can best support social justice, putting this commitment into practice. Fundamental to this are inclusion and equity. Our vision seeks to articulate how we do this.
The Chief Operating Officer at Central Region Schools Trust will be joining a dedicated Executive Leadership Team highly skilled at and committed to removing barriers that may prevent young people from becoming the best versions of themselves.
You must have a passion for working in areas of high deprivation and be keen to improve the life chances of all the young people in our Trust.

Successful delivery in all operational areas is critical to continue supporting our current schools and to develop and enhance the structures and systems needed for effective future growth.
You will support the Executive Principal (CEO), in the strategic development and operation of the Central Regions School Trust and will deputise as required. You will lead the non-academic operations and central service functions of the Trust by upholding, promoting, and modelling our vision and mission through our Distinctive Culture focusing on People, Places and Processes.
The successful candidate will be an experienced leader who can take the Trust on the next stage of its journey as we seek to grow and develop. You will have a significant, successful track record of leadership and strategy development implementing efficient and effective systems within a comparable organisation.
