• Stakeholder Synergy: Act as the primary link between the school, parents, and external agencies to provide a 360-degree support network.

Who You Are

• Passionate: You have an unwavering belief in the potential of every young person, regardless of their starting point.
• Innovative: You don’t just follow the handbook; you look for modern, data-driven ways to improve student engagement and wellbeing.
• A Natural Leader: You possess the "presence" to command a hall and the empathy to support a student in crisis.
• Luton-Focused: You understand the unique vibrance and challenges of our local community and are committed to making a tangible difference here.
• Subject Specialist: You deliver high-quality lessons that engage and challenge students across Key Stages 3 and 4 with a track record of delivering strong outcomes at GCSE. Ideal candidates will have a subject specialism in core subjects such as English or Maths.
