About this Role

Aspire Schools is a family of three Alternative Provision schools, two permanent-stay SEMH schools, one short-stay SEMH school, an outreach provision and a primary forest school intervention. We also run a creative arts charity, Aspire for Young People, providing opportunities beyond the traditional statutory education offer.

This is an exciting time to be joining the Trust, where you will be joining a team of skilled and dedicated staff who are committed to supporting every young person both academically and as a human being.

We are looking for our Deputy CEO to be an inspirational leader for the Trust, to support every member of staff in their mission to improve the life chances of disadvantaged young people, and to assist the CEO in leading the strategic growth and sustainability of Aspire.

We employ a team of extraordinary people who change lives. Our work matters. If your values and experience align with what we are looking for, we would love to hear from you.

We invite all potential candidates for this role to have a confidential conversation with our CEO and a visit to one of our schools. To arrange this, please contact hr@aspireap.org.uk.
