An additional R&R is available for the right candidate with an opportunity to work on a whole school focus.  As this is a new role we anticipate this could develop into a more senior role in the future as the Vocational Department grows, develops and performs.  A Director of Learning for Vocational Studies could be a future opportunity.

The role will encompass the management of all aspects of the various vocational curricula and resources, as well as monitoring the quality and consistency of provision. A commitment to raising standards and forming positive relationships with students is essential, along with an attention to detail and an ability to communicate suitably with colleagues at all levels.

A successful candidate taking on this position would join a creative and supportive Middle Leadership Group, which plays a key role in driving improvement at the school. We are therefore seeking resourceful, motivated applicants, with a track record of outstanding classroom practice and evidence of effective leadership.

Castle View School is a welcoming, diverse innovative place to work where children are given the opportunity and inspiration to pursue academic excellence as well as develop personally.
