I’m supporting a London-based multi-academy trust to appoint an Interim Assistant Headteacher for an Alternative Provision setting.
This is a hands-on leadership role, suited to someone confident operating in a fast-paced, high-challenge environment, supporting pupils with complex behavioural needs.
