Area Leader

Better Futures Multi‑Academy Trust (BFMAT) is seeking an exceptional leader to lead the development of people in curriculum teams to drive wellbeing, performance and student experience. To support organisational collaboration at cross-college and cross-trust level so that we can implement our strategic goals.

The ideal candidate can be a specialist in any field with a willingness to lead curriculum outside of their subject area. At BFMAT, we are a deliberately developmental organisation where staff and students grow together. We prioritise psychological safety, coaching, continuous learning and authentic collaboration, enabling people to thrive and perform at their best. Our ambition is bold: Students are active co‑creators of their learning, shaping curriculum, culture and decision‑making. Staff work with high autonomy, clear purpose and a culture that values professional growth over compliance. The Trust is financially resilient, with strong professional services and decision‑making that enables good judgement. We are growing — carefully, deliberately — while strengthening our values and deepening collaboration across all three colleges. This role is for a Leader who: · Is excited by building something deliberately over time. · Believes improvement and wellbeing are mutually reinforcing. · Is comfortable leading in uncertainty and complexity. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a thriving college and an ambitious Trust — and to be part of a leadership culture that is purposeful, collaborative and deeply developmental. If you’re driven by people, learning and impact, we’d love to hear from you. Closing date: 4th June 2026 (9.00am) Interview date: 10th June 2026 The post is to commence on 18th August 2026.
