He alongside Caldwell oversaw a big turnover of players in the summer as the Spireites looked to mount a promotion push back to League One.
Director and club secretary Ashley Carson said: “I would like to thank Guy for his service and commitment whilst working for the club and for taking on the role of caretaker manager in our last two games.”
Branston, who joined the Spireites in April, added: “I have loved my time at Chesterfield and would like to wish the club and the new manager success going forward.”
