Director of Digital Innovation

Salary: MPS/UPS + TLR 1a (£8706)

Hours: Full time

Contract: Permanent contract to start September 2023 (earlier start considered)

We are excited to be recruiting for the position of Director of Digital Innovation, which is a new role within the school. Having achieved the best progress in the school’s history in 2022, the successful candidate would be joining at a time of significant and rapid improvement. We are seeking to appoint an excellent leader who has an aspirational vision for digital presence and learning, and the skills to implement new strategies robustly and compassionately. 

The computing and business departments have consistently seen strong outcomes at GCSE, and we are driven to continue to improve these even further, removing barriers for all of our students. As such, we are seeking an outstanding practitioner with the passion for their subject both in the classroom and beyond.  

The successful applicant will be enthusiastic, firmly believing that all students can achieve and committed to ensuring all students and staff aspire for their best every lesson of every day.

St Andrew’s is on a journey, and the successful applicants would join a very collegiate and supportive staff team. It is a community school that has love at its core. You see it in the relationships between staff and students; both in the classrooms and the corridors; and in the excellent pastoral care that every student is given. Many describe being part of our school community as being like ‘family’. Our core Christian values run through all that we do, both in daily life and in strategic development.

We have the highest expectations and aspirations for all members of our community, and accept nothing less than an individual’s best. We recognise that we are all unique, with unique training and developmental needs – and we aim to give every staff member the best CPD to enable them to reach their career goals, no matter what that goal may be.

 It truly is an exciting time to join St Andrew’s. With considerable change afoot, there is so much impact to be made as the school goes from strength to strength. 

We would encourage any interested applicants to be in touch and visit the school, or arrange an informal conversation about the role. Details on how to do this are in the application pack.
