The successful candidate will be resilient, with excellent communication skills and have a track record of providing inspiration and strategic thinking to achieve successful outcomes for students, staff and governors.
We encourage you to carefully review the job description and person specification in the recruitment pack. The specific area of responsibility will be shaped by the strengths of the successful candidate, so please consider how your expertise aligns with the role (specialism A / B).
