Are you an established AHT who wants to experience Deputy Headship? Or a current Deputy who wants to spend time developing their practice in a different context?
Buswells Lodge has a rare opportunity for the right candidate to join our Senior Leadership Team as Acting DHT for Spring and Summer 2027. Serving one of Leicester’s most disadvantaged communities, you will play a key role in sustaining and building on the school’s recent rapid improvements.
This would be an ideal secondment opportunity or a two-term temporary contract.
Visits to the school to meet with the Headteacher are highly recommended and can be arranged via the School Office.
Please see further information in the Supporting Documents.
