What skills and experience we're looking for
Interim Senior Leader for Inclusion required for Orchard School Bristol
Orchard School is looking for an interim experienced Senior Leader from January 1st 2023 until the end of the school year. This is to cover the long-term absence of a senior member of staff who leads inclusion.
The remit to be covered includes Attendance and Safeguarding, and has a breadth of line management responsibilities including our Mental Health team of staff, Pastoral Managers and the Independent Study Room/On Call team.
The role is a busy one, and will need someone who is passionate about inclusion, who wants to make a real difference. You will understand the demands of working in a school serving disadvantaged children, and know that high expectations of children and staff are paramount.
You must already have substantial successful experience with a senior leadership team.
There will be no teaching involved in this role, but duties before and after school, and over children’s lunchtime will be essential, alongside being able to meet parents and manage the school operationally on a day-to-day basis.
You will need to be able to work with our school improvement plans, write reports and instigate strategic change as required. Data, IT and analytical skills are essential.
We are advertising at Assistant Head Level, but if an experienced Deputy Head or Headteacher wishes to apply, we would warmly welcome your application and consider the remit accordingly.
