Job description
This is not a traditional Deputy Headship where you inherit another leader’s established blueprint; it is a rare opportunity to help write the next chapter of our story. Joining Rhyddings at a pivotal, transformative moment alongside a newly appointed Headteacher and Chief Executive Officer, you will play a central strategic role in shaping our vision, elevating our curriculum, and embedding a culture of ambitious, evidence-informed excellence. Serving a diverse community in Oswaldtwistle and the wider Hyndburn area, we are unapologetically ambitious for every young person in our care, believing firmly that background should never dictate future success. With significant recent investment in our learning environment, digital infrastructure, and sports facilities, we are building a flagship school that will be the first choice for local families.
As Deputy Headteacher, your primary passion will be driving the quality of education, inspiring teachers, developing confident subject leaders, and ensuring every classroom delivers high-impact, knowledge-rich learning. We are looking for an intellectually curious, emotionally intelligent senior leader who combines strategic vision with flawless implementation. In return, as part of the LET Education Trust, you will work within an empowering culture of collaboration, high professional agency, and dedicated investment in your own continuous leadership development. If you are a values-driven leader who thrives on building leadership capacity in others and wants to make a lasting, transformative difference, we would love to hear from you.
Applications are handled on Teaching Vacancies (GOV.UK).
