Job Title: Deputy Leader for Education

Location: Esteem North Academy - Chesterfield

Contract: 32.5 hours per week 

We are looking to recruit an experienced and inspiring leader to join our academy to assist in leading one of the Chesterfield sites with secondary aged children. The staffing teams are small compared to mainstream schools and the post will suit an experienced professional who would like to expand on their leadership remit as this is a role that will provide variation and job satisfaction. Candidates must be willing to be flexible to meet the needs of the pupils and the academy and be passionate about inclusion. We welcome applications from candidates who are able to identify high quality teaching, work in a fast paced environment and uphold and drive our positive academy ethos.

Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected pupils in a school or other alternative setting. An affinity for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You must be able to build positive relationships with our pupils and think outside of the box. You will be responsible for contributing to a small staffing team to ensure that the site runs smoothly. A growth mindset and positive ethos are essential characteristics that we are looking for.

An allocated base will be named for payment of mileage and any relevant travel for the academy. Candidates must have access to a car with business use included on their insurance. You may be expected to transport pupils in your own car.

We require interested candidates to contact the Executive Headteacher to discuss our academy further and your suitability for this role prior to making an application.
