 ‘Supporting children from Early Years to Employment.’

The Trustees of QUEST wish to appoint an outstanding new Deputy Headteacher and are seeking an inspirational and talented leader with an unshakeable belief in the right of children to high-quality technical education.

This is a really exciting opportunity and a great time to join our Trust - the person we appoint will be able to quickly make a real difference to hundreds of young people’s life chances.

We have an aspiration and determination to deliver exceptionally high quality technical and academic education for all students who attend our school. The school is a University Technical College encompassing Key Stages 3 and 4, along with a Sixth Form provision. The school has modern, comprehensive facilities and is located on the campus of the University of Bolton.

We are looking to appoint a new permanent Deputy Headteacher for the school, to support the staff and students with vision and passion and ensure that, in the future, the UCS delivers an outstanding technical and academic education for the community it serves.

The person appointed will be a strong and resilient leader committed to delivering the very best for every student, and every member of staff, at the school.

They will also understand, and believe in, the ethos and practicalities of a UTC and the difference a high quality technical education can make to young people’s life chances.

This will be a challenge: students at UCS need their school to improve very quickly, which will require a leader who has significant successful experience leading schools in highly challenging circumstances.

The new Deputy Headteacher will have support – from the Headteacher, CEO, the Quest Trust and, as a UTC, from the Baker Dearing Trust.
