Are you an education expert? We are currently seeking to represent an experienced Deputy Headteacher with exceptional skills in leading secondary education for a new interim job opportunity. If you are a secondary school specialist senior leader seeking an interim leadership job either immediately or from January 2027, we would be keen to speak with you.

Currently navigating a period of change, and recently having completed their Ofsted, the Multi Academy Trust are seeking a strong senior leader to support the school particularly in areas such as attendance and pastoral.
We are able to offer a daily rate paid to scale from day one at L24 and the trust is also in a position to offer accommodation costs for a candidate who may not be local to the school.
