Are you committed to leading an exciting vocational subject offer in a school dedicated to giving all students the best possible choices for their future?

We would welcome applications from leaders who have expertise in Cambridge Nationals and BTECs.

We are excited to advertise a new role in our extended leadership team. As a result of the complete restructure of our faculty leadership last academic year we have created the new role of a Phase Leader. This role has been created to add leadership capacity across each of the six faculty areas at Fullhurst Community College.

As a Phase Leader, you will lead the curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment of either Years 7 and 8, 9 and 10 or 11. Your leadership will extend beyond any single department, as you will oversee a number of subjects and be responsible for the line management of the teachers and support staff in your phase. From curriculum development to teaching and learning practices, you will lead by example, ensuring that our school remains at the forefront of educational excellence.

As a Phase Leader you will actively engage in school-wide quality assurance efforts, ensuring that rigorous standards are upheld across all areas. Your commitment to our students will be paramount, as you work diligently to create a nurturing and inclusive environment for them providing both curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities.

As a member of our extended leadership team, you will participate in strategic and operational meetings, contributing to decision-making processes and fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

This is a rare opportunity to make an impact, in a completely new role at Fullhurst Community College. If you are interested in becoming a leader with a passion for excellence and a drive to inspire positive change for students, we would welcome your application.

As this is a unique role to our school we would encourage you to speak to us about this opportunity and also visit. We would welcome the chance of showing off the school, students and our fantastic facilities.

Fullhurst Community College is an over-subscribed and multi-award-winning secondary school for 11-16-year-olds based across two impressive campuses in Braunstone, Leicestershire. Our school is dedicated to our local community, and we passionately believe in transforming the lives of young people from one of the most deprived communities in the UK by ensuring that every student has the very best life chances made available to them.

Further details about the role can be found in the information pack found in the attachments section. A cover letter detailing why you are a suitable candidate for the position should accompany your completed application.
