This job description sets out the duties and responsibilities of the post at the time when it was drawn up. Such duties and responsibilities may vary from time to time without changing the general character of the duties or the level of responsibility entailed. Such variations are a common occurrence and cannot themselves justify a reconsideration of the grading of the post.

MAST and the academies which form part of our trust seek to promote the employment of disabled people and will make any adjustments considered reasonable to the above duties under the terms of the Equality Act 2010 to accommodate a suitable disabled candidate.

Appendix A: Accounting Officer Responsibilities

The Accounting Officer responsibilities are given the Academies Trust Handbook sections 1.31 – 1.38. The designated responsibilities are:

• Give assurance (to Parliament and the public) of high standards of probity in the management of public funds, particularly regularity, propriety and value for money

Appendix B: Working with Directors and Members

MAST is an Anglican Church VA Trust with Rochester Diocese as a member and the CEO will engage with the Diocese through the diocesan strategic partnership and other activities to deliver our shared vision and enable our communities to flourish.

The Academy Trust Handbook indicates that Directors must comply with the Trust’s charitable objects, with company and charitable law and with their contractual obligations under the funding agreement. As an organisation the Trust has a range of obligations under current legislation and statutory guidance. This includes matters such as safeguarding, health and safety and estates management. The Academy Trust Handbook states that ensuring strong governance in these areas will be a key priority for the Board.

The Academy Trust Handbook indicates that Directors should focus on three core functions:

• ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
• overseeing and ensuring effective financial performance CEOs will recognise that in fulfilling these core functions Trust Boards are ultimately responsible for approving and monitoring certain aspects of a Trust’s work including the Trust’s vision and strategy.
