We are looking for an inspirational teacher and confident leader with a proven track record of sustained impact. At Corby Technical School, we believe in open and transparent leadership. We are a team who are very receptive to making changes where an opportunity for improvement is identified. We encourage our leaders to lead by example, be professional ambassadors for the school, and contribute positively, upholding the school values. Leaders at Corby Technical School are always flexible in their work, responding to the needs of the school, and are motivated to ensure that an exceptional education is provided for our young people.
