Job overview

Northern Leaders Trust, formerly Kenton Schools Academy Trust, formed in 2014, is a growing, passionate Trust in the North East of England. Our eyes are firmly fixed on providing the best education possible for young people in our city, our region and nationally.

Students are at the centre of everything we do. Through collaboration, every aspect of our work is of high quality. Our academies deliver an ambitious and inclusive curriculum that enables all students to excel academically and socially.

We are looking to expand our team at a senior level through the creation of this exciting new role. The role of Associate Vice Principal will take responsibility for allocated leadership areas as required in our schools and linked to our Deeps structure: Deep Learning, Deep Experience and Deep Curriculum.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and inspiring senior leader who wants to take the next career step toward headship. We are seeking candidates who will lead by example and demonstrate best practice in all aspects of teaching and learning, assessment and behaviour for learning. We are seeking candidates with a thorough understanding of the local and national issues surrounding the provision of secondary education and who can combine interpersonal, negotiation and influencing skills with professional credibility to positively engage all school stakeholders.

We are also seeking candidates with a relentless drive and an absolute commitment to our core aim of ensuring that all students within our school achieve their potential, whatever their barriers, background, social status, gift or need.

If you are the person we are looking for, you will be able to demonstrate:

  • A proven track record of effectively leading a department or significant curriculum/leadership area
  • The ability to take an active role in collaboration across the Trust
  • Demonstrable experience driving performance improvements in that area or the wider school
  • An ability to think and act strategically with sensitivity to organisational and wider political priorities to deliver high-quality outcomes
  • An ability to present views and opinions in discussions which contribute to positive outcomes, including the ability to give feedback and accept feedback constructively
  • A proven track record of people, resource and financial management
  • An ability to demonstrate high expectations and to instil these in others
  • An unfaltering work ethic, resilience and a commitment to the studio school ethos

In return, we will offer:

  • The opportunity to join us at an exciting time, working at either Kenton School – a vibrant and inclusive large secondary school – or Studio West – one of the most successful studio schools in the country
  • Salary sacrifice schemes, such as childcare vouchers and cycle-to-work schemes
  • Access to on-site gym facilities
  • Fantastically resourced schools with easy commuting access to both the A1 and A19
