What skills and experience we're looking for

You will be an experienced and inspirational senior leader with a strong understanding of safeguarding, behaviour, attendance and inclusion. You will have the confidence to challenge and hold others to account, while building positive and productive relationships across the school.

You will bring excellent judgement, resilience and a clear commitment to putting pupils first. You will be able to analyse information, identify priorities and turn strategy into meaningful and measurable improvement. You will understand that high expectations and effective support are not competing principles, and will be passionate about ensuring that vulnerable pupils and those facing barriers to learning receive the support they need to succeed.

Above all, we are looking for a leader who is visible, calm, decisive and collaborative, who can inspire confidence in others and who is committed to creating a school culture where pupils feel safe, valued and ambitious for their future.

  • Opportunities to work collaboratively with colleagues and leaders across HISP Multi Academy Trust.

  • Access to high-quality professional and leadership development.

  • A strong commitment to staff wellbeing.

  • The opportunity to make a genuine and lasting difference to the lives and outcomes of young people.
