Associate Senior Leader

Associate Senior Leader - Student and Staff Wellbeing

At Capital City Academy we are looking for an additional Senior Leader to join our Capital Leadership Team (CLT). This Associate Senior Leader would be a teaching role and we are specifically looking for teaching expertise in Geography or Science. The role has been created to provide capacity to make a significant impact in the areas of staff and student wellbeing.  Staff wellbeing is a key focus at Capital and staff governors have key actions to support wellbeing on the school action plan but there is space alongside our DEI programme for creative leadership in this area. The role would involve deputising for the DSL and also leading on whole-school prevention of bullying.  Therefore this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced pastoral middle leader to move into whole school pastoral leadership. The successful candidate will demonstrate excellent leadership skills and be committed to making a significant contribution to our collaborative, diverse and committed CLT which is led by the Principal, Associate Principal and two Vice Principals.  This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced middle or senior leader to join a cohesive and effective team and be key players in the leadership of our Capital Community. 

Capital City Academy provides an exceptional environment for academic and sporting excellence. We foster artistic creativity, wellbeing and leadership potential within a rich and diverse community.

Our moral purpose is to ensure our students and staff have access to the best possible futures and contribute positively to society through an outstanding careers/development programme, excellent leadership and coaching. This leadership role provides the opportunity to be part of realising this vision and driving further improvement in student progress and personal development across the academy. This role could start in September or January.
