Jodh Dhesi, Chief Executive Officer

We are delighted that you have taken an interest in a career at the King Edward VI Foundation and our Academy Trust. Our ambition is to make Birmingham the best place in the United Kingdom in which to be educated. It is a bold mission, but we view it as inspirational – inspiring our determination to enable our city’s young people to harness and maximise their potential, wherever they live, irrespective of their circumstances and whatever their aptitudes: academic, occupational, sporting or cultural. We believe that schools are far stronger when they work together, sharing their expertise and their resources for a common purpose. We also believe that the diverse mix of schools within our Foundation (independent, grammar and comprehensive) brings a range of expertise and perspectives which allow for even broader collaboration. We have many job opportunities across the organisation, whether this be school based in one of our Academies or Independent schools, or in our Foundation Office, in Edgbaston.
