Essex County Council are proud to support Hearts Academy Trust for this exciting opportunity for Chief Executive Officer position.
Thank you for your interest in the position of Chief Executive Officer and Accounting Officer at HEARTS Academy Trust.


This is a unique and exciting opportunity for an experienced education professional to join HEARTS Academy Trust and to be the spearhead in the continued leadership and growth of our trust.


Due to the retirement of our highly successful and respected CEO, the HEARTS Academy Trust is looking to appoint a dynamic, diligent, commercially astute, pupil-focused and influential CEO to provide strong and effective leadership, strategic direction and vision.

HEARTS Academy Trust is an education charity that has a proven track record of school improvement and transforming schools. All of our schools are judged as "good" or "outstanding" by Ofsted.

None of the schools in our trust or those we have worked with in our school improvement role have ever received an Ofsted judgement less than good.

We are seeking to appoint a CEO who will lead our schools and provisions with ambition, rigor and vision.

The HEARTS Academy Trust is an innovative employer. You will be leading a dynamic, friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated team.

HEARTS is a supportive and ambitious organisation, led by a senior leadership team who are collaborative, highly performing, responsible professionals.


Children are at the HEART of all we do, therefore our new CEO will share a passion for delivering outstanding outcomes for pupils.


If you would like to lead the growth of our trust, as well as support the further development of our schools, and you are inspired by the prospect of shaping the high aspirations we have for our young people, we would be delighted to hear from you.


The Role
Dear Applicant

Thank you for your interest in the position of CEO and Accounting Officer at HEARTS Academy Trust. We hope the information you find within this pack is helpful when making the decision to apply.


HEARTS Academy Trust was established in 2011 and is inspired by its values of happiness, self-esteem, achievement, respect and responsibility, truth, spirituality and service.

All of which are deliberately permeated throughout our schools and organisation.


The trust was founded by The Wickford Church of England School, and also now includes Briscoe Primary School and Nursery, Waterman Primary School, Stembridge Primary School, Hilltop Infant School and Hilltop Junior School.

In 2018 HEARTS was proud to open The Atrium, a specialist enhanced provision for children with social and emotional needs.

The trust is a group of dedicated individuals who are passionate about providing exceptional learning for all pupils.

HEARTS has a proven history of effective collaboration and staff contribute significantly to the improvement of schools both locally and nationally.

We consistently maintain a clear focus on each school, the curriculum, and our pupils.

We work tirelessly to ensure that all pupils have access to positive life enhancements through their learning and the personal development opportunities offered, including the HEARTS promise.


The role of CEO is a crucial appointment that will continue to provide excellent opportunities for pupils and help them achieve their full potential.

The trust has the capacity to grow provisions locally or further afield to secure the Trust's long-term contribution to primary education.

The HEARTS Academy Trust is an innovative employer.

You will be joining a highly supportive and ambitious organisation, working alongside like-minded professionals including a Deputy-CEO, CFO, COO, Director of Curriculum Learning and Assessment, Executive Headteachers, Heads of School, teaching staff, business and support staff, catering and caretaking teams, Local Advisory Boards (LABs) and Trustees who all recognise and diligently work to provide our pupils with the best possible education.


If you are interested in joining HEARTS Academy Trust, we highly recommend arranging an informal visit to explore our schools, provision, and educational standards in greater depth.


HEARTS is experiencing an exciting and rewarding period as we eagerly anticipate the hiring of a CEO who will continue to set remarkably high standards of professionalism, challenge performance benchmarks further, and lead the trust towards expanding its offerings and increasing its influence in the primary education sector.
