We are currently seeking to appoint a talented and inspirational Assistant Headteacher. This is a key role within our Senior Leadership Team at Brownhill; a fantastic opportunity for someone with drive, enthusiasm and high aspirations to work in partnership with the Headteacher and other leaders to make a real difference to our Academy and young people. You will lead by example and inspire and develop others, building on our many successes and driving forward Academy improvement. The right candidate should have a good track record in aspirational and inspirational teaching and learning and should be expert in building strong relationships with pupils, families and staff. With this in mind you will be able to use this strong pedagogy to mentor and coach colleagues to successful provision both in terms of behaviour management and strong teaching and learning that supports inclusion in the classroom.

With this in mind, we are seeking to appoint an ambitious and engaging Assistant Headteacher; someone who can help shape and deliver a shared vision for the future and who will take an effective lead on Behaviour and Attendance ensuring an inclusive environment where no pupil is left behind and all pupils have the support and challenge to be the best they can be. You will support the SLT to develop and support behaviour and attendance provision as well as manage effective inclusion of all pupils across the Academy.

You must be able to:

  • develop excellent provision for our wonderful pupils and their families

  • lead and develop our committed staff team

  • work effectively with governors, Trust colleagues and other partners

  • be highly motivated, enthusiastic, skilled and solution focused

  • have a good track record of raising standards and leadership

  • be committed to developing positive behaviour

  • be an exceptional leader and be able to get the best out of others

  • drive school improvement, relishing the challenge of creating our future

  • lead on maintaining excellent standards in the Quality of Education and welfare of all

  • live the Co-op values


  • This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of our 'Good' school (Ofsted 2023), joining a highly motivated and forward-thinking staff team and contributing to our next level of successful development.

    We welcome interest from existing Assistant Headteachers, looking to further develop their career in a large primary academy supported by a highly regarded Trust as well as those from talented and ambitious teachers looking for their next step in leadership.

    So, if you're a committed educationalist, understand school improvement and with a belief in the power of co-operation to achieve great things - please get in touch with us.
