Are you seeking a leadership role that leads with vision, inspires with purpose and transforms lives through education?

Broadoak Academy is seeking a dynamic and strategic leader to join our Senior Leadership Team as Assistant Principal (Behaviour and Culture). This is a key role in shaping and delivering an ambitious whole-school vision for inclusion, ensuring every student experiences equity, belonging and the opportunity to succeed.

Within this role you will help lead the academy’s whole-school positive behaviour approach, ensuring that all students are supported to achieve positive social, emotional and behavioural outcomes. This will include developing and embedding our Behaviour and Culture beliefs, establishing clear and effective behaviour policies with consistent and predictable responses, and ensuring that high expectations, routines and protocols are understood and upheld by both students and staff across pastoral time, lessons, break and lunch.

You will monitor and evaluate the quality of pastoral support and the teaching of our social, emotional and behaviour curriculum, identifying and implementing strategies for continual improvement. You will lead the evaluation of whole-school behaviour standards, ensuring a calm, orderly and purposeful environment, promoting positive attitudes to learning, and overseeing the effective deployment of Behaviour Support Officers to further strengthen student behaviour and engagement.

We are looking for an individual with a track record in supporting school improvement, team development and raising attainment, and a deep commitment to inclusive education.

Broadoak Academy is an ever-growing secondary school located in Weston-super-Mare and is quickly becoming the school of choice for parents in the town. We are very proud to be an Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ school. We have a strong sense of belonging and community, and as such, we work together to offer students a well-balanced, happy and successful education. Our community is assured of Broadoak’s pivotal role in their children’s education, wellbeing and futures.

We are a diverse and inclusive community of 37 academies across five cluster regions in the South West that is committed to excellence and making a positive impact. Our people bring unique perspectives, but we’re all driven by a shared moral purpose and a passion for making a positive impact, whether in a teaching, leadership or support role. We’re proud to foster a culture where everyone can thrive, feel valued, and make a meaningful difference to the lives of others.

We are an equal opportunity employer and proud to serve a diverse student population and our communities. We strongly believe that representation matters. We particularly encourage applications from those groups in order to represent the students we serve, as well as wider underrepresented groups including gender, transgender, age disability, sexual orientation or religion.
