KIRKLEES COUNCIL OFFER THIS ROLE ON BEHALF OF SCISSETT MIDDLE SCHOOL

Following the promotion of our existing headteacher to CEO, we are looking to recruit a new headteacher to lead Scissett Middle school into the next phase of its development.

Scissett Middle School is a thriving, oversubscribed and well regarded school in Kirklees which takes pupils from the beginning of Year 6 to end of Year 8. We are part of The Mast Academy Trust whose values are rooted in collaboration and child centred decision making.

We are looking for someone with ambition and drive; resilience and emotional intelligence and the ability to inspire and motivate our people. You may be a senior leader in a secondary school or a serving headteacher in a large primary school, but you must have a passion for cross-phase working and a commitment to the unique opportunities afforded by middle school education.

In return we can offer you:

  • The opportunity to work with fantastic pupils who are eager to learn.
  • Committed staff and a strong and supportive Governing Body
  • Support from experienced headteachers and a committed and professional trust board.
  • A commitment to professional development opportunities

For further information about the post please refer to the recruitment pack. If you wish to discuss the role with the CEO of the Trust please contact Melanie Humphreys, Executive Administrator for the Trust at: mhumphreys@themast.co.uk who can arrange a conversation.

During lockdown, we propose to run remote long listing interviews with a view to shortlisted candidates attending site if it is safe to do so. Ideally we would like a January start, but we are committed to finding the right candidate.

Applications must be received by noon Friday 2nd October 2020. Please go to https://www.themast.co.uk/job-vacancies for a recruitment pack including the application form.
