Are you an experienced leader ready to make a real impact? We are seeking two Senior Operations Managers to join our leadership teams at schools within Mersey View Learning Trust: Chesterfield High School and The Rowan Park Schools.
This is an exciting opportunity for two talented individuals with proven leadership experience to shape and oversee the operational backbone of thriving school communities.
What we’re looking forWe’re seeking a confident leader who thrives on building relationships and driving performance. While experience in the education sector is beneficial, it’s not essential. Your ability to transfer skills from other sectors—managing people, complex operations, and resources—is what matters most.
You will bring:
✔ A strong track record of managing teams, projects, and budgets.
✔ Excellent interpersonal skills to work collaboratively with staff at all levels, from teaching and support teams to Trust leaders and governors.
✔ The vision and adaptability to lead in a dynamic, mission-driven environment.
Mersey View Learning Trust was incorporated in 2024 and we are six academies who teach and care for over 3000 learners in Merseyside. All the academies are equal collaborators in school improvement and raising aspirations in young people to achieve great things academically and personally. Our collaboration of academies was borne out of our shared desire to create outstanding provision for all learners within our communities. Our vision and values focus on inclusion, aspiration and care for all our learners and staff.
The Rowan Schools and Chesterfield High School have their own unique identities and strengths, but share a commitment to high standards, supportive teamwork, and strong community relationships. You will be joining an organisation where your operational expertise will be highly valued and your contribution deeply felt.
The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its pupils and expects those working with us to share this commitment.
