Birmingham, United Kingdom The Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham Full time

**Purpose of the role**

The Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham (“the Foundation”) is one of the most significant educational charities in this country. King Edward’s School was founded in 1552, and now in the 21st century the Foundation runs thirteen schools - two independent fee-paying schools, six selective academies and five non-selective academies, and there are plans for ongoing growth.

The King Edward VI Academy Trust Birmingham (“the Academy Trust”) was established in 2017 and is made up of the eleven academies outlined above. Our overarching mission is “to make Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK”.

We are now looking to appoint a new School Partnerships Officer to support the Foundation. This position involves visiting schools, working at the central Foundation Office and flexibly from home throughout the working week.

- secure high levels of local demand for all our academies
- support collective efforts to make Birmingham the best place to be education in the UK.
