Welcome from the Chair of Titan Partnership

Dear Candidate,

Thank you for your interest in joining Titan Partnership as our next Chief Executive Officer. Titan is a unique network of schools, colleges, and universities in Birmingham, and we are now looking for a truly exceptional individual to join our charity at this exciting yet crucial time.

The vacancy has arisen following the resignation of the current CEO, who has served Titan and its members for the last six years with impressive dedication and success. 

Titan Partnership is at a pivotal place in its journey; the Executive Committee regards this appointment as a crucial part of its ambitious future development and growth. We are seeking to appoint an inspirational, and mission-driven CEO to take Titan on the next stage of its journey. The CEO will lead the exceptional team to develop the membership base, expand our Initial Teacher Training provision, and boost business development and income generation.

As you might expect, the global pandemic presented particular challenges to the education sector, our members, and to Titan as a small charity. However, with our action-orientated and inclusive philosophy and approach, the organisation is in a position of strength to capitalise on opportunities and meet challenges head-on, with the support of our members and key stakeholders.

Trustees, members, and staff feel proud and privileged to work with Titan Partnership as we support young people and staff across our network and our ethnically diverse communities to improve their life chances in a positive, inclusive, and supportive way. With the significant changes currently underway across the teacher training landscape, we are extremely ambitious in our plans as we continue to develop the teachers and leaders of tomorrow.

Social justice is at the heart of everything that Titan does. We work hard to deliver lasting solutions that embed equality, diversity & inclusion, raise the aspirations of young people, build skills, and create resilient, professional, and innovative teachers and leaders.

Your values and behaviours must be fully aligned to Titan’s ethos and values, with a passionate commitment to inclusion, innovation and to the education sector, especially in Birmingham and the West Midlands. You will be absolutely dedicated to taking Titan Partnership to its next exciting stage of development and growth. 

As Chair of Titan Partnership, I look forward to working with the successful candidate in the years ahead to ensure that our charity flourishes and continues to successfully serve our members.

We welcome your interest in this exciting post and look forward to hearing from you.

Paul Doddridge
