Make a positive difference – every day
The Mead Educational Trust is an energetic and dynamic family of 13 primary and secondary schools in and around Leicester. As a family of schools, we leverage our collective strengths in order to make a positive difference to the life chances of children and young people and to our wider community.
At the heart of all we do is a commitment to provide our pupils access to a world-class education, our schools with excellent school-to-school support, and our staff with high quality professional development.
As our new Chief Finance Officer, you will join a high performing, agile organisation with a secure financial foundation and genuine appetite for further development and growth.
In this high-profile role, you will have the opportunity to make a material impact on TMET’s success, as you work closely with the CEO, newly appointed COO and the other directors. You will be part of the Executive Team that sets the Trust’s strategic objectives and ensures we deliver on them.
Once in post, you will play a critical role in providing clear and balanced expert advice to the Trust Board. A qualified accountant with exceptional technical ability, you will be an astute strategic thinker with experience of nurturing and developing agile teams within a highly collaborative culture. Alongside this, you’ll also be a skilled communicator, with the ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders - both within the trust and beyond.
Whether you have developed your career in education or another field, you will have a deep moral purpose and a passion for securing brilliant outcomes for children and young people. If you are looking for a unique and career defining role, then do get in touch.
