With a shared mission grounded in Catholic faith and a commitment to delivering an excellent, holistic education, the Trust is progressing towards a unified “faculty of education” shaped by values that are genuinely lived across all settings. Through a spirit of collaboration and the belief that it is “greater than the sum of its parts,” BBCET invests in its people through leadership development, secondment opportunities, shared best practice and supportive wellbeing initiatives. Strong governance remains central to this success, with local governing bodies playing a vital role, and the Trust maintaining close partnerships with the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle, the Bishop and fellow Catholic Academy Trusts to ensure its work remains rooted in the teachings of Christ.

We are seeking an honest, authentic and humble leader who demonstrates a resilient, self-reflective approach and is open to challenge, while continuing to promote the culture of aligned autonomy established across our Trust schools. This model, built on strong communication, mutual trust and transparency, sits at the heart of our success and requires a CEO with excellent leadership and communication skills to sustain and strengthen it. You will bring a detailed understanding of the evolving needs of our schools and a strong track record of improving outcomes, alongside experience of inspection frameworks and supporting underperformance. With a secure grasp of financial management within a Trust setting, you will navigate complexity with confidence and make informed, sometimes challenging decisions.
