Assistant Headteacher Safeguarding (DSL)

Chorus Education Trust in Sheffield is seeking an Assistant Headteacher to join the Senior Leadership Team at Westfield School. This role would suit an experienced Assistant Headteacher seeking a new challenge, or middle leaders ambitious for the next stage in their career.

Due to the promotion of the current postholder to another school, we are excited to be able to recruit an Assistant Headteacher to the important area of responsibility:

Assistant Headteacher - Safeguarding and other strategic responsibilities according to candidate’s experience and school improvement priorities.

Candidates should have a strong record of senior or middle leadership, working proactively and constructively with children, colleagues, and parents. It is essential that you can inspire and lead staff, and be a team player, supporting and coaching middle leaders and working in partnership with SLT colleagues. We are looking for people who are ambitious for our children and for themselves, with a strong commitment to their own professional learning. In return we can offer very strong opportunities for career development, and the opportunity to work within a positive, reflective, strategic and student-focused team.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a school on an exciting journey of improvement, but also a Trust that is committed to providing the very best opportunities for both staff and children. Chorus Education Trust is at an exciting time of growth and seeks to work in partnership with both primary and secondary schools across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. Members of our schools’ Senior Leadership Teams will have the opportunity to work with their equivalent colleagues on developing cross-Trust strategies.
