Applicants should have substantial experience in educational leadership, preferably across multiple schools or a comparable large-scale setting, together with a relevant postgraduate qualification and appropriate professional registration. You will bring a strong understanding of curriculum development, school improvement, performance evaluation, and student wellbeing, as well as experience leading change in complex environments. Excellent organisational, analytical, written, and interpersonal skills are essential.

The successful candidate will be collaborative, resilient, and able to balance strategic priorities with day-to-day demands while maintaining high standards of professionalism and integrity. A commitment to inclusive practice, evidence-informed decision-making, and positive outcomes for students is required.
