About the job

Well, for a start, we\'re a hugely ambitious council, committed to improving lives for the residents, communities and businesses of Somerset.

And that\'s why we\'re working so hard to build a sustainable organisation with a culture that rewards, values and recognises our staff, and gives everyone here the opportunity to grow and develop, personally and professionally.

If you\'re looking for a place where you work truly matters - where YOU truly matter - we might be just right for you.

We also promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.

We\'re working to improve the lives of people in Somerset - and you\'ll be a key part of that. Your day-to-day work will involve:

• Offering confidential, professional, and personal support to Headteachers across the County, to enable raising of achievement by ensuring the health and wellbeing of the lead professional in the school.
• Planning a calendar of visits to schools to meet with Headteachers in their different settings.
• Offering phone support and Microsoft Teams meetings between school visits as required.
• Offering \'Wellbeing in Leadership\' courses and Inset training to enable leaders to maintain perspective and resilience.
• Leading an annual reflection residential course for Headteachers.
• Liaising with Local Authority officers and attending meetings as appropriate.

We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be. But it will really help if you:

• Have a wide experience of Headship in Somerset and a comprehensive understanding of the role of a Headteacher plus knowledge of Local Authority structures.
• Are a qualified teacher with knowledge of current educational thinking and research.

We\'re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences to enrich our team. You can always contact the hiring manager for a chat if there\'s anything you want to talk about before you apply.

We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

• We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
• Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave.
• Staff discounts in gyms.
• Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
• Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
• A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
• My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more.

The salary for this role is Soulbury A 8-11, ranging from \xc2\xa323,017 to \xc2\xa325,079 per annum.
