Head of IT

Application: Apply by 9.00am, Friday 14th June 2024 We would advise applying early for this role as interviews may take place prior to the closing date

Start: September 2024

Salary: MPS/UPS/TLR2 + up to £5,000 Recruitment & Retention

Contract: Permanent (Full Time/Part Time Negotiable)

Hadlow Rural Community School

Hadlow Rural Community School is a unique school, combining a traditionally academic curriculum with a challenging Land-based specialism.

As the only specialised Land-based school in the country, our students have the opportunity to not only study for the highest academic grades but also to participate in a wide variety of life-enhancing and enriching experiences, working in a beautiful outdoor environment in areas such as agriculture, horticulture, animal care and countryside management.

We wish to appoint a dynamic, innovative and exceptional Head of IT. The successful candidate will join and lead a strong department and will possess the ambition and expertise to play a key part in the continuing success of the School. The ability to teach a second subject would be advantageous, although not a necessity.

This is an exciting post for an excellent practitioner and offers an outstanding opportunity for career progression (70%+ of leadership positions appointed internally in the last 5 years). The role provides the perfect opportunity for a candidate wishing to take their next career steps in leadership within a small and supportive environment or, for more experienced candidates, it will provide the opportunity to take on more responsibilities supporting any potential aspirations for senior leadership in the future.

If you feel that you are a highly motivated, inspirational teacher who has the expertise and experience to play a vital part in the future of our School then we would very much like to hear from you.

Benefits of Working at HRCS

The Trustee's and Senior Leadership Team at HRCS are very aware of the significant contribution that colleagues bring to the school and the importance of providing a positive, supportive and productive working environment.

This is epitomised through our vision and values and the daily interactions between staff, students and parents. Student conduct is exemplary and based on high expectations and mutual respect; poor behaviour is not tolerated.

Career development and progression for those staff with leadership aspirations is prioritised and the school has a strong track record of supporting colleagues in achieving their career goals.

All staff are highly valued, with well-being represented as a standing agenda item on all meetings, and working groups regularly meeting to review common practices and workload considerations.
