Vice Principal

Ambitious, enjoy a challenge, love boxing - and thinking outside the box?

If so, here is the unique opportunity to use your experience and skills in alternative provision teaching and curriculum development, and your contribution will be valued as part of a pioneering approach in a growing senior team.

The Boxing Academy is a ground-breaking and unique school which uses boxing training in parallel with academic study for young people for whom mainstream school is no longer an option. In March last year approval was granted for us to become a Free School and, as part of that transition, the academy buildings are undergoing significant extension, adaptation and refurbishment to provide amazing facilities to support learning, developing life skills – and upgrade our boxing ring!

As the most senior person with curriculum responsibility, this is your opportunity to lead a team of teachers who will deliver accessible, dynamic and interesting lessons to young people with a range of needs and difficulties; we currently offer core subjects and your challenge will be to assist in broadening this offer while improving outcomes, which requires an informed, aspirational and creative approach. In addition to your curriculum expertise, our ideal Vice Principal will remain calm, unfazed when the unexpected occurs, be self confident, demonstrate a strong interest in working with challenging pupils and, importantly, understand the values and ethos of boxing.

Advantages include:

• Working with an ambitious and forward thinking team with a strong track record of success
• Students who are both challenging but very rewarding to work with
• An opportunity with potential and the scope for you to make your mark
• Facilities undergoing extensive modernisation and adaptation for purpose

You are strongly encouraged to visit before applying. To arrange this, get a candidate pack or for a confidential conversation, please contact our recruitment consultant on 07891 671 226 or email jacqueline.baker@judicium.com She will be available to respond during holiday periods.

Closing date: Tuesday 3rd May
Interviews: Wednesday 11th & Thursday 12th May

The Boxing Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
