Job summary
We are looking to appoint a new headteacher to Eastbrook Primary Academy. We are particularly interested to hear from experienced, outstanding headteachers, or outstanding deputy headteachers who feel they have the desired professional qualities. We are looking for someone with drive, ambition and a proven track record of successful school leadership to lead our outstanding academy to further success. With the opportunity to experience the support and network offered by the REAch2 Academy Trust, this post would suit an experienced person looking for the next challenge and wanting to join a highly supportive MAT. You will be able to lead, motivate, develop, and inspire a school team of staff and governors who are passionately committed to giving pupils a wide range of real-life and enriching experiences, within a culture of highest expectations.
You will demonstrate a clear understanding of what it takes for a school to retain an ‘Outstanding’ judgement and the competency to lead the school to this outcome. In addition, you will be able to demonstrate your ability to manage, prioritise and organise your workload, to show flexibility and resilience and recognise the need for pastoral care for all members of the community of the school. A commitment to well-being and mental health is essential.
If you are an innovative, responsible and insightful professional, who has the passion, drive, and enthusiasm to build on Eastbrook Academy’s considerable strengths, then we look forward to hearing from you.
Your opportunity
Whether you are an experienced headteacher, or preparing for your first headship, we can equip you with the experience, knowledge and training to achieve your next career goal. As part of REAch2, you will have the opportunity to work within a close network of academies, and with headteachers from across the wider Trust. We have a highly experienced central team, all committed to providing support and developing your skills as a leader. As part of a rewarding environment and highly supportive Trust, we can provide headteachers with all the support needed.
