Executive Assistant Head Teacher and SENDCo job summary

Following the successful promotion and the retirement of two of our existing Senior Leadership Team, a unique opportunity has arisen within our schools whereby the Federation Governors wish to appoint a new Executive Assistant Head Teacher to work across Shadwell and Bramham Primary School in a SENDCo and pastoral role.

The successful applicant should have relevant experience and be an outstanding practitioner, to work together with the Executive Head Teacher and the wider Senior Leadership Team in support of the Federation vision, values and ethos in achieving a world-class education for all our children. The new Assistant Head will be driven and determined to ensure high standards of behaviour and achievement and will balance this with our understanding and ethos for nurturing children and in promoting their well-being in achieving 'Excellence for All'.

The Assistant Head will hold an essential position across both schools and will be regarded by staff, parents and the wider community as the first point of contact for children with SEND and any behavioural / pastoral issues, in liaison with the well-being mentor. This position is ideal for someone who has previously held the position of SENDCo in a single school and who would like further and wider leadership in their career progression. The role will be under the guidance of Heads of School and the strategic leadership of the existing Executive Head Teacher. This role will be excellent experience for those aspiring towards their own Deputy Headship and long term substantive Headship in the future.
