9 a.m. Thursday 13th February Who we are. Thrive Co-operative Learning Trust was established to inspire pupils to thrive in life; born from the vision of schools that value individuality while sharing a collective mission. As one of the first multi-academy trusts to be legally constituted under a co-operative model, we are rooted in the principles of collaboration, equality, and community engagement. Our Trust is a network of schools committed to providing environments where children can grow in knowledge, self-reliance, and responsibility toward others. With schools across Hull serving diverse communities, we are united by the belief that education is a force for social change. About the role. We seek a visionary CEO to lead Thrive Co-operative Learning Trust through its next chapter, guiding the Trust’s strategic direction, supporting school improvement, and championing our co-operative values. This is a role for a compassionate, dynamic leader who understands the transformative power of education. As CEO, you will work closely with our central team, headteachers, and trustees to ensure financial sustainability while delivering exceptional student outcomes. You will act as an ambassador for Thrive, strengthening relationships with local communities and building local and national partnerships to enhance our work. The CEO should balance strategic oversight with visibility across the trust and availability for our leaders and staff.

The role requires ethical leadership, empathy, resilience, and the ability to inspire staff, stakeholders, and pupils. Who we are looking for. The ideal candidate will be a passionate and pragmatic leader committed to improving life chances for children and young people, regardless of their backgrounds. You will bring experience in leading complex organisations, a deep understanding of education, and a track record of delivering positive change, including transforming underperforming schools into strong performers. Familiarity with curriculum development, teaching, and the broader education landscape is vital, along with skills in managing the practical demands of running schools, such as finance, HR, and infrastructure. Embodying our co-operative values, you will foster a culture of collaboration, integrity, and shared responsibility, building strong relationships across schools, communities, and external networks. Resilient and hands-on, you will lead with empathy, compassion, and strategic vision, balancing innovation with respect for the unique identities of our schools. Above all, you will empower staff, build ethical leadership capacity, and ensure our schools are places where all children can thrive. Peridot Partners and Thrive Co-operative Learning Trust are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and our client expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
