Education Officer for The Gaudete Trust

The Gaudete Trust invites applications for the role of Education Officer to lead their executive team and operations across 18 schools.

The Gaudete Trust was established in 2023 by five Religious Orders, following a three-year collaborative venture steered by a working group of the National Association of Religious Orders in Education (ROE). The mainspring of the Trust is the desire of Religious Orders to continue to put their charisms at the service of the Church. By adopting a collaborative approach to trusteeship, the Gaudete Trust offers those Religious Orders an alternative way of continuing to serve Catholic education. The Gaudete Trust is a legal entity with the authority to administer those legal, financial, and inspirational responsibilities of educational trusteeship that were formerly exercised by individual Religious Orders. It is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) recognised by the Charity Commission and a Public Juridic Person recognised by the Catholic Church.

This is a new and creative opportunity for someone to work with this ground-breaking collaborative trust in its early days. The Trustees are looking for someone with the capacity to develop the role creatively and flexibly in response to the needs of this new family of Religious Order schools.

Joining The Gaudete Trust means being part of a pioneering initiative shaping the future of Catholic education. With flexibility, ongoing support, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, this role offers both challenge and reward.
