On behalf of a leading, purpose-driven National Multi-Academy Trust, we are seeking a Regional Director to spearhead the evolution of five secondary academies in Bristol and the surrounding South West region. This is a pivotal senior appointment for a decisive leader who balances rigorous high expectations with a deeply relational, values-led approach. The Role: Leading Leaders As Regional Director overseeing five Bristol-based academies, your mission is to move beyond "Good" and toward "Exceptional," ensuring that every child - regardless of their starting point - experiences a culture of belonging and academic excellence. You will act as the primary line manager and coach for a cohort of secondary Principals, providing the principled authority required to navigate the sharp end of urban education.

Your core objectives will include: Driving High-Stakes Turnaround & Growth: Leveraging your experience in lower socio-economic communities to eliminate barriers to learning and accelerate student outcomes.

Systems Stewardship: Ensuring the financial sustainability and operational rigour of the cluster while mentoring the next generation of Executive leaders. The Ideal Candidate We are looking for an individual with gravitas and grace - someone who can stand up to rigorous scrutiny while empowering their teams through a coaching-first philosophy.

You possess the confidence to make difficult, high-level decisions regarding school improvement, industrial relations, and cultural shifts. Relational Expert: You lead through coaching and mentoring, not diktat. You have the gravitas to stand up to scrutiny and the influence to align diverse teams behind a single vision.

System Leader: You are currently an Executive Principal, a Principal of a large/complex Secondary, or an existing Regional Director looking for a role that offers true freedom to innovate. Mission-Driven: You align with a "whole-person" educational philosophy, believing that academic excellence and community hub integration are mutually inclusive.
