In this pivotal role, the successful candidate will oversee the operations function of AUSEAT, including Estates and IT, under the leadership of an experienced Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO & Executive Principal’). This position provides an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic and transformative period for AUSEAT. Following the success of Aston University Engineering Academy (AUEA), we have launched AUSEAT, a new Multi-Academy Trust. AUSEAT now incorporates the AUEA UTC and Aston University Mathematics School, creating innovative opportunities to design and implement new systems and processes. As Operations Director, you will play a key role in driving this transformation.
Our Operations Team is small but highly dedicated, and we are looking for someone to both support and nurture their development. Ideally, we are seeking an experienced professional with a background in leadership within a Single Academy Trust (SAT), Multi-Academy Trust (MAT), or Further Education (FE) setting. You should have a proven track record of delivering exceptional service to students, staff, and stakeholders. Additionally, you will need to demonstrate expertise in risk-based compliance and practical skills in ensuring regulatory standards.
As a values-driven organisation, we are committed to integrity and excellence, and you must be capable of embodying and promoting these core values in your work.
