Deputy Headteacher – Secondment 1/9/25 to 31/8/26

The role will be a professional challenge and require hard work, resilience and energy. It would suit an existing deputy headteacher looking to broaden their professional experience before headship or an experienced assistant headteacher looking to take on their first deputy headteacher role. At the same time this secondment provides valuable experience working in a school that is part of a Catholic Multi Academy Trust and the opportunities for collaboration that offers.

The successful candidate will continue to be employed by their current employer and continuous service would not be broken. The Trust will cover all employer expenses and there would be salary enhancement. For an informal conversation with Clare McKenna (Acting Headteacher) or Andrew Dawson (CEO), please contact louise.jones@pfcmat.org. We would strongly encourage visits to the school, but this would have to be with the endorsement of your Headteacher.
