The Role
We are recruiting for either an Associate Assistant Principal, or an Assistant Principal, dependent on the experience of the successful candidate. The successful candidate will join an existing senior leader for pastoral care to increase our capacity within the team. Either role has significant opportunities for progression and development within the leadership team as the school grows to full capacity.
About You
We are looking for an exceptional leader with the vision and commitment to shape our growing school throughout its formative years and beyond. We are looking for a leader who will create a culture of excellence and who shares the Trust’s determination to bring out the best in young people.
The position is a great match for someone with the highest expectations, determination, resilience, audacity and compassion in equal measure.
The successful candidate will work closely alongside the Principal and senior leadership team and will lead the strategic direction of the Inclusion and behaviour strategy, ensuring all students make exceptional progress throughout their time with us. The successful candidate will lead experienced and growing team, including both the SENCo and our pastoral team, to ensure that all students are well supported to fully access the curriculum and wider opportunities in school.
This role will also involve other aspects of whole school leadership, which may include welfare, safeguarding, attendance, rewards and co-curricular. The precise role is open to negotiation based on the strength and experience of the candidate appointed.
As with all members of the Senior Leadership Team, this role comes with responsibility for ensuring the smooth and effective running of the school on a day-to-day basis. As a significant member of the Leadership Team, the Assistant Principal works in partnership with the Principal in defining and articulating the vision and values for the School and then implements this through their actions. They are committed to securing United Learning’s aim of ‘Best in Everyone’.
United Learning values diversity and inclusion and is committed to creating and sustaining a more ethnically diverse workforce. In this regard we would not only welcome applications from professionals of minority ethnic origin, but from majority ethnic professionals who share our commitment.
