About our trust
Kernow Learning is a primary specialist multi academy trust of 21 schools in Cornwall. All our schools celebrate their individuality whilst holding our trust’s shared values, mission, and philosophy close to their heart.
We believe that our trust has already achieved much; through a mix of collective synchronicity and autonomy, our schools are working together to provide collective strength so that they can stretch their offer beyond expectations in their drive for excellence.
In addition to our schools, we are proud to host a DfE English Hub, Teaching School Hub, Voice21 Centre of Excellence, and an Associate College of National Institute of Teaching; the only one in Cornwall.
About you

You will dream big and achieve big; by ensuring that we have strong governance to drive forward our ambitions, and an ability to engage all stakeholders to create and foster positive relationships for all.
Our next Trust Specialist for Governance and Stakeholder Engagement will be an experienced governance professional. You will be able to evidence the ability to foresee future difficulties and barriers, as well as being able to bring a strategic mind to navigate successfully around these.
Our next Trust Specialist for Governance and Stakeholder Engagement will have the courage to innovate, but will also have the wisdom to ensure that we always operate within tight policy and regulations.
The successful candidate will want to make a difference; they will be committed to developing the strategies that will help us embrace next gen governance, whilst ensuring that our key stakeholders, our families, feel heard so that every child, in every school, is able to achieve their best – after all, we are Building Excellent Schools Together.
