- Assistant Principal - Curriculum
Assistant Principal - Curriculum
Salary: £82,400
Organisation: Waltham Forest College
Location: Walthamstow, London
Closing Date: 15 Sept 2024
Waltham Forest College is one of the most successful education and skills providers in the country, as evidenced in the Outstanding Ofsted grade that it was awarded earlier this year. Embedded as an impactful anchor institution in the local area, the college has an income of around £32m, a broad offer and a focus on outstanding teaching, learning and support.
Our ongoing journey of growth and transformation over the last few years has brought about impressive successes in our outcomes and an aspirational culture with a passionate, committed workforce. Our financial health is also rated as Outstanding, we have delivered significant year on year growth in income and we have exciting capital projects underway to further enhance our innovative facilities. Recent developments have included accreditation as a World Skills UK Centre of Excellence and achieving the Mayor of London’s quality kitemark for six key areas.
We are seeking a new Assistant Principal Curriculum who, as a member of the college’s Senior Leadership Team, will play a key role in cross-college strategic direction and will have an impact on taking the college “beyond outstanding”. Reporting to the Deputy Principal Curriculum and Quality, and one of three Assistant Principals of Curriculum, this role will lead on a significant range of the college’s provision, championing aspiration, ensuring consistently high standards and delivering an excellent student experience. Key to success will be getting the best out of our talented staff and encouraging ongoing innovation, while ensuring our offer consistently evolves and makes a positive impact for our students, employers and communities.
This role presents an excellent opportunity to prepare an individual for the next stage in their career, due to the scope of the remit and our focus on empowering and developing our people.
Our successful candidate will have a robust track record in curriculum and quality leadership within Further Education, with experience of leading teams to deliver high outcomes. Our values are important to us, so we will welcome an individual with a collaborative, inclusive approach, along with a solutions-focused mind-set and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. We are not stipulating experience of any specific areas of provision; we are flexible to consider leaders from all curriculum areas, as long as they are driven to delivering excellence and committed to embedding an aspirational environment.
Key Dates to Note:
