At MAST, we want to develop leaders who are ambitious for children, committed to their communities and confident in working collaboratively across a family of schools.

Leadership within MAST is about more than holding a particular job title. We want colleagues at every stage of their career to have opportunities to lead, influence practice, develop others and contribute to improvement beyond their own classroom or school.

Developing Future Leaders

We actively encourage colleagues who are ready to take the next step in their career.

Across MAST, aspiring and developing leaders can access opportunities to:

• lead subjects, phases and key areas of school improvement
• take part in Trust-wide networks and projects
• work alongside experienced leaders from across our schools
• contribute to curriculum, inclusion and teaching and learning development
• gain experience beyond their own school
• access professional development and leadership qualifications
• receive coaching, mentoring and support from senior leaders

Our aim is to build leadership capacity from within and create clear pathways for colleagues who want to progress.

Leadership Across a Family of Schools

Being part of MAST creates opportunities that extend beyond a single school.

Leaders can collaborate with colleagues across the Trust, share expertise, support improvement in other settings and contribute to the development of Trust-wide strategy and practice.

This means colleagues can broaden their experience while continuing to work within a supportive network of schools with shared values and a common commitment to improvement.

Headship and Senior Leadership

We are committed to identifying and developing strong future Headteachers and senior leaders.

Where appropriate, colleagues may have opportunities to:

• undertake wider leadership responsibilities
• contribute to Trust-wide improvement work
• support other schools
• work across more than one setting
• take on acting or interim leadership opportunities
• prepare for Deputy Headship, Headship or wider executive leadership

We want talented leaders to see MAST as a place where they can build a long-term career.

Current Leadership Vacancies

Leadership opportunities arise across our schools and central team throughout the year.

Whether you are looking for your first leadership role, the next stage of senior leadership or the opportunity to lead a school, we would be pleased to hear from you.
