Head of Marketing

June 17, 2022 By julia

Location:                             Norwich / Home-working

Salary:                                  c.£43,000 per annum (full time equivalent)

Hours:                                  37.5 hours per week (full time – reduced hours for part time, to suit candidate)

Contract Type:                  Although this is being advertised as a full time permanent, position we are happy to accept flexible or part time working to suit the candidate (including a term time only option)

Start Date:                          1 September 2022

We are looking for an experienced marketing manager with a proven track record of growing and shaping brands and producing effective digital and traditional marketing campaigns.  The Head of Marketing will be responsible for the day-to-day management of all aspects of marketing at the Trust.  This is the first marketing role we have created, and marks our first step in establishing a marketing department.  As the Trust grows, there will be opportunity for you to grow and develop a team. 

This role will require you to get involved with every aspect of marketing at both an operational and strategic level.  Whether it’s ghost writing articles as part of a content strategy, optimising SEO, managing our social media presence, reviewing Headteacher communications to ensure consistency of voice, carrying out parent focus groups or handling PR and events management – no day will be the same.  But every day, you will be helping us to improve the life-chances of children. 

Our view is that marketing is about changing our organisation to meet the needs of our customers (parents) and consumers (pupils).  We want a dynamic strategic thinker who is eager to take our organisation forward and help us make changes that will provide value to our parents.  You will carry out market research and use this to devise appropriate strategies and campaigns to increase pupil numbers.  You will work with our Head of People to manage internal and external communications in a way that positions us as an employer of choice with current and prospective employees.  You will support our CEO in developing and establishing the Trust as a known brand amongst competitors and those schools wishing to join our Trust family, furthering our growth strategy. 

You will have a marketing degree or equivalent professional qualification, and ideally you will have qualified member status of the CIM (or digital equivalent). You will ideally have at least five years’ marketing experience, and in particular, you will need to have significant digital marketing experience.  It would also be great if you have an understanding of data protection too, insofar as it relates to marketing activities and risk.  However, please note that these are our ideal requirements, and we know some people may not apply for the role if they do not meet all of these. We promote a diverse and inclusive culture at The HEART Education Trust, so please apply if you meet the majority of these competencies.   And although we’re offering this as a full time role so as not to limit the pool of excellent candidates, we are more than happy for this to be a part time role that fits with your existing life commitments. We are more concerned about finding someone who is the right fit for our organisation than rigid contractual arrangements that put off excellent applicants.   

This is a senior role reporting to the Chief Operating Officer.

Our benefits include flexible working arrangements, membership and employer contributions to a  local government pensions scheme and access to our employee assistance programme.  We will also support you to achieve your Level 7 CIM qualification as part of your own professional development.

To apply – Please complete the attached application form and email us at HR@thehearteducationtrust.co.uk.  Check out our websites and Facebook pages for academy news and more information about the Trust.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and the successful candidate will be required to undergo an enhanced D.B.S. and full pre-employment checks.    This post is likely to come under the requirements of the Childcare (Disqualification) 2009 Regulations and the successful applicant will be required to complete a declaration form to establish whether they are disqualified under these regulations.

Wanted: Charity Trustee & Company Director for a Multi Academy Trust (Norwich)

June 30, 2021 By hazel

This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for a business professional to use their skills and expertise to benefit the children of Norfolk.  Make the most of your abilities by giving back to your local community!  

At The HEART Education Trust, we believe that we are here to provide better life-chances for children through education.  As a four primary school multi-academy Trust in the Norwich area, we serve some of Norfolk’s most disadvantaged children.  Those children are the future, and regardless of their starting points in life, they will change the world.  However, a lot goes into running an organisation with such high aspirations, and we need to ensure that we have the right people in leadership.  Whilst we have an Executive Board responsible for the management of the Trust, it is important that we have a robust system of governance in place.  We achieve this through an internal control and risk management framework and a Board of Trustees with the a compilation of skills and knowledge.  We are currently seeking a trustee with a professional qualification or experience in finance and accountancy.

When you join The HEART Education Trust, you join an organisation with the passion and commitment to change lives.  As a trustee, you will be responsible for:

  • ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
  • overseeing and ensuring effective financial performance  

For more information on what the role entails, please see the Academy Trust Handbook 

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/academies-financial-handbook/academy-trust-handbook-2021

Interested applicants should contact the Company Secretary at hazel@thehearteducationtrust.co.uk  

Please note, this is a voluntary role.

Supply Teacher Opportunities Norwich

October 23, 2020 By hazel

We regularly have short term and medium term supply work available, ranging from a day to cover teacher sickness, to a whole term to cover longer term absences. We are keen to engage qualified teachers for these casual assignment opportunities. We will carry out full safer recruitment and then keep you on our books to advise you of available assignments from time to time. This means that you get to work with a Trust whose policies and pupils you become familiar with, making the role less stressful than walking into a brand new school each time. And because we don’t end up paying fees to an agent, we can pay pension contributions for assignments you complete – meaning you may end up much better off than simply signing up with an agency. To apply, please contact our HR Department hr@thehearteducationtrust.co.uk
