We are looking for a highly successful secondary headteacher wishing to make a move into working for a multi-academy trust, whilst still utilising all your headship experience, working within and across our three secondary schools. The role has been newly created with the aim to add capacity to the existing team, working on secondary school improvement. It is an exciting time to be joining the Trust following the successful academisation of our third secondary in March 2025. We are looking forward to a new five-year strategy centred around improving our offer to children and young people, as well as continuing to grow in Bromley, Kent and East Sussex.
The Trust is seeking a candidate who will be able to contribute significantly to the school improvement efforts of our existing secondary academies. Candidates should ideally have over five years’ experience in leading a large secondary school with a 6th form. The successful candidate will support our drive to ensure all pupils experience an exceptional education and should be ready to drive standards and practice. In the first instance, for most of your week, you would be based at Bishop Justus Secondary School in Bromley with the remainder of your time working with the secondary strategy team.
This position is full-time and offered on leadership terms and conditions. A key part of the role would be a willingness to be an interim secondary school headteacher as the Trust expands. Whilst working primarily in Bromley, the role also requires working with both our secondary schools in East Sussex. We are seeking to appoint a Deputy Director of Education who will promote a culture of excellence, be passionate about the transformational power of education and secure the very best outcomes for our students. The successful candidate will be joining a dynamic and experienced central education team.
We would welcome applications from successful headteachers wanting a new challenge, whilst not stepping too far away from headship but looking to further their career as part of the senior leadership within a supportive Trust.
