We seek an outstanding and innovative Assistant Principal with the ability to be a role model, build teams, and empower others. We are looking for someone who is committed to securing high standards of learning and teaching in order to raise academic achievement. You will have the opportunity to contribute to our large enrichment programme and share expertise across a growing group of Academies and independent schools within United Learning.

The core purpose of all Senior Leadership roles is to be a role model to staff, as well as to improve achievement and attainment for all groups of students by focusing on improving progress, learning and teaching. While each Assistant Principal has specific responsibilities linked to their role there are opportunities to rotate some of these to enable the team to gain valuable experience in different areas of leadership.

As an Assistant Principal, you will be an outstanding practitioner, and a strong leader of people and teams, who will look to you for outstanding line management, support and challenge. We know that outstanding leaders have transferable skills and are confident and effective in all aspects of their leadership but we also recognise that as a senior leader, you will need support and challenge yourself so that you can grow to be the best you can be - we will make this happen.

The specific areas of responsibility of the role will depend on the successful candidate but would potentially include some pastoral responsibility and safeguarding. As a STEM specialist school, the ability to teach Science or Maths would be an advantage.

You will relate to the Academy's ethos of "the best in everyone" and enjoy working with a rich, diverse group of young people in a dynamic and vibrant learning environment. Cambridge Academy for Science and Technology is part of United Learning Trust. As part of the largest group of Academies and independent schools, we offer outstanding professional development and career progression across both the maintained and independent sector.

To conclude, we need someone who is passionate about making a difference. Our students are amazing, so are our staff. If you have the qualities to be part of the team to take outcomes for the Academy to the next level, please get in touch.
