Deputy Director of Learning: Business Studies

Required January 2020 or sooner

Teacher's Main Scale + TLR 2C £6,829

An additional R&R is available for the right candidate with an opportunity to work on a whole school focus. As this is a new role we anticipate this could develop into a more senior role in the future as the Vocational Department grows, develops and performs.

The role will encompass the management of all aspects of the various vocational curricula and resources, as well as monitoring the quality and consistency of provision. A commitment to raising standards and forming positive relationships with students is essential, along with an attention to detail and an ability to communicate suitably with colleagues at all levels.

A successful candidate taking on this position would join a creative and supportive Middle Leadership Group, which plays a key role in driving improvement at the school. We are therefore seeking resourceful, motivated applicants, with a track record of outstanding classroom practice and evidence of effective leadership.

Castle View School is a welcoming, diverse innovative place to work where children are given the opportunity and inspiration to pursue academic excellence as well as develop personally. We, as a school community, have developed a growth mindset; where failure is an opportunity for growth and that nothing is impossible. We have the ethos that students, staff, parents/carers, governors and local businesses can and will collaborate and work effectively in partnership to create an environment where students can "be the best that they can be."
