What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking an outstanding and aspirational Assistant Headteacher to join our committed leadership team and play a key role in driving school improvement. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced practitioner who can demonstrate strong leadership. In the first instance, the role will be largely non-class based but a more significant teaching commitment in subsequent academic years is likely. We welcome applications from experienced leaders, as well as exceptional middle leaders with the skills, ambition and capacity to excel at senior leadership level.
The successful candidate will:
• Be an excellent classroom practitioner with consistently high expectations for all pupils
• Demonstrate proven impact as a subject or phase leader, with the ability to inspire and support colleagues
• Have a secure understanding of curriculum design, assessment, behaviour and inclusion within a primary setting
• Show strong interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence and a collaborative leadership style
• Be committed to safeguarding, equality and pupil wellbeing
• Thrive on responsibility and contribute positively to the strategic direction of the school
• Have effective communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with all stakeholders
What the school offers its staff
We can offer:
• A supportive and forward-thinking leadership team
• Opportunities for professional development and leadership growth
• Enthusiastic, motivated pupils who are keen to learn
• A dedicated and skilled staff team who value collaboration
• A school culture rooted in high ambition, care and respect
Sheffield South East Trust (SSET) formed in 2016 and unites seven local primary schools. The schools within the Trust work closely together for the benefit of the children and communities they serve. There are many opportunities for support, training and networking between the schools
Commitment to safeguarding
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will require an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (previously CRB) in line with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 and the Police Act Regulations.
