Hays Education is working in partnership with a successful and improving secondary academy in the West Midlands to recruit an Interim Assistant Headteacher for a one-term assignment.
This confidential opportunity would suit an experienced senior leader with a proven track record of driving improvements in either behaviour, inclusion and wellbeing or attendance and pupil engagement. The successful candidate will join an established leadership team and lead a critical area of school improvement during an important period in the academy’s development.

Reporting directly to the Headteacher, you will:
- Provide strategic leadership for either behaviour or attendance across the school.
- Lead, develop and implement effective systems that improve pupil outcomes and engagement.
- Work closely with pastoral leaders, safeguarding teams, staff, pupils and families.
- Analyse data and identify targeted interventions to secure rapid improvement.
- Support the wider senior leadership team in delivering whole-school improvement priorities.
- Promote a culture of high expectations, inclusion and excellent standards across the academy.
About You
We are seeking an experienced educational leader who:
- Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
- Has substantial senior leadership experience within a secondary school setting.
- Can demonstrate measurable impact on behaviour, inclusion, attendance or pastoral outcomes.
- Possesses excellent leadership, coaching and stakeholder engagement skills.
- Is resilient, visible and highly effective in driving change and maintaining high standards.
- Is available to commence at the start of the forthcoming term (or as soon as possible).
