We have made some really exciting appointments in the last few months at a time where recruitment presents it challenges and we are now developing our leadership team to build capacity and develop the current and future educational offer we give to our pupils. 


You must be able to demonstrate the capacity to offer exceptional leadership and managerial skills. The ideal candidate will have significant experience and knowledge of working with children and young people with a range of complex needs, particularly at KS2 and 3.  The role involves leadership of the KS2 nurture site at Barrow Hill which is currently open for 4 days per week for dual registered KS2 pupils at risk of permanent exclusion. Pupils are allocated places for a short period to develop their behaviour and positive strategies to successfully reintegrate them back into their mainstream school on a full- time basis. The successful candidate will join a team of 2 STLAs.


This role is full time to allow for whole academy leadership development across the other sites. You will have proven success in leading a team in delivering a personalised curriculum to pupils with a broad range of needs including challenging behaviour and communication difficulties in either mainstream, Special or AP provisions. You will have experience of building excellent relationships with pupil, staff, parents, governors, other schools and officers in a multi-academy trust and the local community.


The Assistant Headteacher role will require the successful candidate to be child centred, solution focused and approach leadership through policies, systems and processes. You will be supported in your role through close support from the Headteacher, senior team and also from the wider school improvement team from the Esteem MAT. 


Benefits include: Teachers’ Pension Scheme, Westfield Health membership and free parking.
