Leading on assessment, behaviour and wellbeing, you will model, coach and mentor to secure sustained improvement.

The Holme is a wonderful place to work and is relentless in its desire to continue to improve, in love, courage and wisdom.

We are looking for someone who:

We know that great schools thrive because of the people in them and we value each member of our professional community. Leaders within our Trust are well supported, including by a dedicated Director of Education within a local hub structure, in addition to the knowledge, skills and experience of the wider Trust family.

If you care passionately about what you do, strive to deliver excellence, enjoy coming to work and making a difference to the lives of a whole school community, we will welcome your application to join our happy and successful team.
