The
Head of Business Development and Growth will play a pivotal role in shaping and
delivering the Trust’s growth strategy. This includes driving recruitment and
engagement activity to increase pupil numbers and expand apprenticeship
participation across the Trust and with partner organisations. The postholder
will use data, market intelligence and performance insight to inform recruitment
strategy, school place planning and strategic growth decisions.
The
role will also lead on developing and delivering marketing and communications
that promote the Trust’s work, achievements and brand to internal and external
stakeholders. Alongside this, the postholder will identify and develop
income-generation opportunities and strategic partnerships that support the
Trust’s growth and school improvement priorities.
This
role combines strategic thinking with operational delivery and requires
proactive engagement with schools, multi-academy trusts and external partners
to grow both recruitment and delivery opportunities.
As
the Trust continues to grow, there is scope for this role to evolve in scale
and strategic influence. We are seeking an individual who is excited by the
opportunity to shape that journey with us and to contribute meaningfully to the
Trust’s long-term sustainability and impact.
