The Difference is passionate about working across Hampshire to find the best teachers, middle leaders and early career senior leaders to join our Difference Leaders Programme.
Have you got:
The drive for a challenge
A commitment to social justice
The skill to lead
And the hunger to learn?
Then you could be a Difference Leader in 2021.
The Difference is looking for the country’s most committed, creative, and capable teachers.
We want to support these teachers to become the inclusive headteachers of 2025 through our two-year career programme.
Are you ready to take on a two-year challenge as a senior leader in a pupil referral unit or alternative provision school? Want career development that could see you return to mainstream senior leadership, to change the school exclusion story for the most vulnerable?
The Difference Leaders Programme provides sector-leading professional development, the opportunity for career progression, a network of inclusively-minded peers and upskills participants to have an impact on the children who need you most. An intensive two-year leadership development course is matched with a senior leadership post in a Good+ school for excluded pupils.
Difference Leaders are:
Driven by the mission to reduce school exclusion and improve life outcomes for the most vulnerable learners
Optimistic about what children can achieve in the face of significant adversity
Great teachers with experience of leading the practice of colleagues (in middle or senior leadership)
Systems-thinkers, who enjoy learning and thinking creatively about how to change school systems, cultures, and practice
Difference Leaders get:
Senior leadership position in an alternative provision school for two years
Two-years of evidence-led training in improving pupil learning, safeguarding and wellbeing via residential (social distancing guidelines permitting), away-day training sessions, twilight seminars, and group supervision with a psychologist
Bespoke leadership development via in-school coaching
A National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL)
Network of like-minded school leaders across the country, passionate about re-thinking education for the most vulnerable
Onwards career support for Difference Leaders to return to mainstream as senior leaders of Inclusion
Currently, only 4.3% of excluded children get a pass in GCSE English and maths. Half are unemployed straight after school and far too many enter the criminal justice system. Could you be part of changing this story?
The Difference is committed to fair and diverse recruitment.
