THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PAST VACANCY EMMAUS HAVE APPOINTED TO.


Deputy Headteacher - Behaviour, Inclusion and Ethos

Location: City of Bristol
Contract Type: Full Time
Contract Term: Permanent
Start Date: September 2024 or sooner by negotiation

St Mary Redcliffe and Temple School (SMRT) is a successful and heavily oversubscribed 11-18 co-educational, Church of England, comprehensive school of over 1750 students, serving families from the whole of greater Bristol and beyond. We are located at the heart of the city and have a diverse student community with considerable parental support. Our diversity is a strength and something we celebrate. The Redcliffe Sixth Form Centre currently houses approximately 700 students from our own school and from many other schools across the City.

SMRT was judged outstanding by Ofsted (April 2015) and in our church school (SIAMS) inspection (March 2017). The appointment of a new Headteacher in September 2002 has meant there is absolutely no sense of complacency. SMRT is a forward-looking school with a relentless focus on providing the absolute best provision so that no child is left behind.

We are now seeking to recruit an exceptional Deputy who has a genuine vision for what exceptional educational provision looks like and has the experience, character, and energy to help us take SMRT to the next level.

The post holder will:

• Ensure consistent student behaviour that fits with our Christian ethos and vision and enables every student to be empowered as a fully ‘Alive’ learner, leader, and responsible community member.

• Have the daily responsibility for the oversight of the 11-16 site.

• Provide and model highly effective leadership.

• Be a genuine team player who brings the experience, intelligence, and self-awareness to fulfil the wider leadership requirements and support of a Deputy Headteacher.

For an existing Deputy (or perhaps Headteacher) this might be the next challenge you seek…or for an experienced Assistant Head with still yet untapped potential – at SMRT we have the capacity, resources and above all the desire to develop and support you to become the outstanding leader you know you can be.

Although the focus of this role is Behaviour, Inclusion, and Ethos, interest from candidates who have not come up through the traditional Head of Year route are welcome. The job description is open to amendment and development in the light of the unique skill set of the successful candidate.

Applications are sought from both practising Christians and those committed to supporting the Christian ethos of the school.

Closing: Tues 30 January at 12 Noon

Interviews: Tues 6 and Wed 7 February

"We tried going it alone to find a CEO for our MAT but had only 2 applicants who didn't meet our requirements. We approached Emmaus and from the start their professionalism was reassuring."

Barry Leyland, Chair - Blessed Edward Bamber Catholic Multi Academy Trust

"Thank you for everything you did to successfully support our recruitment of an outstanding Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. Using Emmaus Leadership to manage the recruitment to the post was much debated and was the subject of intense scrutiny by our Governing Body who were somewhat reluctant to use a leadership recruitment specialist. However, their confidence was reinstated as a result of your professional approach, your insightful knowledge and the resulting candidate pool produced for both appointments. I have no hesitation in recommending Emmaus to other schools."

Annie Sutton - Executive Principal, St Joseph's RC Specialist School and College

"I have no hesitation in commending Emmaus to any school that is seeking to appoint a Christian Headteacher. In particular, Emmaus’ ability to promote the school, assess the ethos of the school and communicate this within the networks of those who might be considered as possible candidates was invaluable."

Clive Purser, Chair of Governors, St Andrew's CE High School for Boys, Worthing

"I approached Emmaus following our unsuccessful attempts to recruit Deputy DDEs for both Dioceses. They went on to source a far greater number of candidates of high calibre. I highly recommend Emmaus!"

Canon Carolyn Lewis, Director of Education - Diocese of Leicester and Diocese of Derby

"I have personal experience of the quality of service Emmaus provides, when I successfully applied for a Headship position through them. I always felt I could call up, get the ‘inside take’ on the school and ask any questions in complete confidence. The support and expert advice I received made the application process far less daunting and I would thoroughly recommend Emmaus to any Church School looking to appoint a key Leadership position."

Dan Pickard, Headteacher, The Bishop’s CE Primary School - Thetford

"Could we afford it? My belief, as Chair was that we couldn’t afford not to. We needed strong school leaders to be drawn to apply. Our success was down to using Emmaus and definitely money well spent."

Carry Lynott - Chair of Governors, Our Lady and St Brendan's Catholic Primary School, Bradford

"Emmaus brings a level of professionalism, seen in other industry sectors, to church schools’ recruitment."

The Rt Rev Nick Baines - Anglican Bishop of Leeds

"We considered TES, but the critical factor for us was that Emmaus are not only specialists in recruiting Headteachers, they are Christians focused exclusively on recruiting for Church Schools."

Canon Bob Baker, Chair of Governors,The Bishop’s CE School - Thetford

"We had been cold called by a few other companies but chose Emmaus as it specialised in Church schools. We were impressed by Liam and his team coming to the school and burrowing in to what the school wanted and needed. He asked searching questions and we were satisfied this was the way forward. I had not been a fan of head hunters before, but I have to say this process and its result was a hugely better experience than going out on our own and was totally professional throughout."

Bridget Prentice, Chair of Governors - Trinity School, Lewisham

"…we also considered other external recruiters, but Emmaus were clear favourites in terms of their recruitment expertise and in-depth knowledge and appreciation of the catholic school’s sector."

Peter Giorgio, Director of Education, Nottingham Diocese
