St Augustine’s is a vibrant and successful Catholic Lasallian College with a strong sense of mission and community. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding strategic leader to join our dynamic and innovative Senior Team as Deputy Headteacher (Inclusion).

This is a reserved post and we are seeking a practising Catholic. This is a unique opportunity to work with us to shape the vision and future of Catholic education in our Diocese and within our Lasallian network.

We are looking for an ambitious and inspirational leader who can bring vision, energy and a proven track record of driving improvement. In this role we are looking for someone with significant experience and strength in leading the pastoral and safeguarding strands of our improvement drive. The specific responsibilities will be shaped around the strengths of the successful candidate and the needs of the Senior Team. We are looking for someone who can see how to ensure that these essential strands underpin the progress and life opportunities for all of our young people. The successful candidate will ensure that the wellbeing, inclusion and safety of our young people remain at the heart of College life.

There is also an expectation that the successful candidate will work closely with the Headteacher to ensure that the Lasallian Catholic life of our school serves to underpin all that we do. To achieve this, the successful candidate will be supported to gain experience of leadership across a full range of school improvement opportunities, and there will be on-going opportunities to gain valuable experience in an acting headteacher capacity. This will enable them to develop as a confident, versatile and well-rounded senior leader with the capability to deliver at the highest levels of school leadership. Our focus for all improvement is centred on the importance of ‘culture’ and how to utilise this to drive sustainable change.

This is a rare opportunity for an aspiring senior leader to help shape the next stage of our improvement journey, in a school community grounded in Catholic Social Teaching and the Lasallian tradition of faith, service and excellence.
