The posting

Job Title: Deputy Leader (Education)

Location: Esteem North Academy - Chesterfield

Grade/Scale: MPS / UPS (£34,068.00 - £52,834.00) Plus SEN 1, Plus TLR2a

Contract: 32.5 hours per week

Start Date: April 2027

We are looking to recruit an experienced and inspiring leader to join our academy to assist in leading one of the Chesterfield sites with secondary aged children. The staffing teams are small compared to mainstream schools and the post will suit an experienced professional who would like to expand on their leadership remit as this is a role that will provide variation and job satisfaction. Candidates must be willing to be flexible to meet the needs of the pupils and the academy and be passionate about inclusion. This role is to work under the Assistant Headteacher who leads this site and together ensure the quality of education, welcome new pupils to the school and manage behaviour. You will lead staff, deliver CPD and ensure school routines are adhered to with consistency. We welcome applications from candidates who are able to identify high quality teaching, work in a fast paced environment and uphold and drive our positive academy ethos.

Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected pupils in a school or other alternative setting. An affinity for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You must be able to build positive relationships with our pupils and think outside of the box. You will be responsible for contributing to a small staffing team to ensure that the site runs smoothly. A growth mindset and positive ethos are essential characteristics that we are looking for.

There will be another role also available during 2027. This initial role will be based at the Hasland site. Our additional school site will be opening in Chesterfield during 2027. This post will allow the successful candidate a shadowing period to learn their craft prior to the additional site opening. One candidate will remain at the Hasland site and the other successful candidate will move to be based at the new school site in Birdholme.

An allocated base will be named for payment of mileage and any relevant travel for the academy. Candidates must have access to a car with business use included on their insurance. You may be expected to transport pupils in your own car.

We require interested candidates to contact the Executive Headteacher to discuss our academy further and your suitability for this role prior to making an application. We are a specialist setting. Suitable interested candidates will be offered an invitation to tour the school site prior to making an application.

Please see the attached Application pack including a Welcome from The Executive Head Teacher and more information about Esteem North Academy and Esteem MAT.

Please review the attached Job Description to learn more about the role and what we are looking for in the successful candidate.

Benefits Include:

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
