What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you ready to embark on a journey of meaningful collaboration and transformation in education? Join us at Brompton Academy as an Associate Assistant Principal, where you’ll play a pivotal role in fostering impactful relationships and shaping the educational landscape. This is a full-time, permanent role starting in January 2025. This role may be uplifted to that of Assistant Principal for candidates who are able to demonstrate existing experience within a senior leadership role.

In this exciting position, you’ll have the opportunity to build strong relationships with key external stakeholders, including our esteemed sponsor, The University of Kent, local schools, universities and more. Your efforts will contribute significantly to our students’ educational experience, outcomes, and cultural capital, enriching their journey towards success.

But that’s not all! This role also entails collaborating closely with Chatham Grammar, where a similarly named role awaits, offering you a unique opportunity to make a difference across multiple institutions.

As part of the UKAT family, our commitment to your growth is unparalleled. Through the Unique People Programme, after just one year of service, you'll be eligible for Assistant Principal opportunities within the Trust, allowing you to further your career and impact.

We believe in empowering our leaders, which is why this role comes with a 50% teaching commitment in the first year, with annual reviews to ensure a balanced workload. If you have a passion for teaching and possess expertise in subjects like English, Maths, Science, Geography, Languages, or Performing Arts, your skills would be a tremendous asset to our team.

We're looking for dynamic individuals who are dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of our students. If you're energised by the prospect of inspiring change, driving progress, and being part of a supportive learning community, we want to hear from you.

Join us at Brompton Academy, where your contributions are valued, and together, we can transform lives through the power of inclusive and engaging education. Apply now, and let's shape the future together!

The successful applicant will be coming to a multi-academy trust-wide supportive learning environment, characterised by open management, and in the knowledge that they will enjoy the full support and care of the pragmatic (and down-to-earth) leadership team.
