Ormiston Academies Trust is looking for an exceptional Head of Executive Office and Communications to sit at the heart of our organisation — running our Executive Office and shaping how we communicate with 45 schools, our staff, and the wider world.
In this dual role, you'll act as trusted adviser to our CEO and Deputy CEO, managing correspondence, priorities and special projects across the Trust.

A proven relationship-builder with a track record of generating income, sponsorship or partnership value.
Confident engaging and influencing senior stakeholders, including at director and board level.
Skilled at developing compelling proposals, pitches and cases for support.
Comfortable managing a varied pipeline from first contact through to signed agreement.
Excited about widening opportunity for young people and underrepresented communities through corporate partnership.
