Emmaus Leadership are shortly commencing the recruitment process to support an exciting initiative – a MAT partnership between the Archdiocese of Liverpool and Diocese of Shrewsbury (in close collaboration with the DfE) to recruit a CEO for a newly established Catholic MAT.

St Joseph Catholic Multi Academy Trust is being established as a Trust to enable schools identified as needing support for more rapid school improvement and/or schools that are unable to find a MAT ‘home’ due to lack of local capacity to join. Whilst in the Trust, schools will access high levels of external school improvement support (brokered by the Trust) with a view that they will leave the trust within a c2-3 year period to return to a secure local Catholic MAT as good schools.

It is envisaged that c10 (primary and secondary) schools will become member schools of the MAT.

This is an exciting opportunity for the right leader to help transform the surrounding educational landscape and lead a national pilot which has significant DfE support. This is a high-profile role which will involve working closely with the DfE for the life of the pilot.

Whilst this post is initially fixed term, due to the pilot nature, there are exit strategies planned for academies and for the central team to ensure that their next steps are secured.

You must be a practising Catholic with the ability to articulate a clear philosophy for Catholic Education. You will have substantial experience of successful system leadership/school improvement across more than one school (Primary and/or Secondary) achieved within the Ofsted framework, leading to rapid and sustained improvement.
