We believe that by working collectively, sharing what works well and jointly developing best practice, we are stronger together and can provide the very best education for our children in our geographical area.

Compassion - Recognising the needs of others and driven by a desire to improve student outcomes and staff well-being
Aspiration - Bringing high expectations and resilience to continuously push for excellence and innovative solutions
Integrity - Acting consistently in the best interests of young people, upholding strong ethical principles and communicating with respect and transparency
Collaboration - Working inclusively and effectively across boundaries to engage with and lead teams in pursuit of a shared vision
Tasked with ensuring exemplary governance and compliance standards across the trust, the Governance Professional and Compliance Lead has a broad remit, including oversight of strategic and operational systems of governance, acting as professional advisor to the Board and leadership of the governance and compliance function with responsibility for overseeing the contracted DPO service, the Trust Policy Schedule and complaints.

For the opportunity to apply your skills in a dynamic, values-driven organisation and join us in shaping the future of education, apply now to become a key driver of excellence across our Trust.
