Notice of Internal Vacancies
September 2010
Following the decision not to replace Dean Robinson on the Senior Management Team and the consequent need for some re-structuring of the existing Senior Management responsibilities, the Board of Governors has agreed to the following posts which, while necessary in themselves for successful management of the School, are also seen as developmental, in that they offer staff an opportunity for whole school responsibilities.
The SMT posts below are designed to be undertaken for two academic years to allow a sufficient period of development. At the end of two years, the need for each post will be reviewed and consequently re-advertised, adapted or discontinued, according to the School’s needs and budget at the time. It is assumed that the successful applicants in this round will not apply for the same post again.
Separate information about each of these posts and the means of application may be downloaded by clicking on the relevant job title as listed below.
Two SMT secondments.
These posts will be unremunerated. The successful applicants will be seconded for two academic years from September 2010 and will take responsibility for a specific role as follows:
• STEM
The successful applicant will have the responsibility for developing the School’s response to the STEM initiative and implementing the STEM action plan outlined in the School Development Plan for 2010 / 2011.
• Curriculum Development
The successful applicant will have the responsibility for leading the continuing implementation of the NI Curriculum.
Invitations are also invited for the following posts, which will not be attached to the SMT.
• Entitlement Framework Co-Ordinator
The successful applicant will have the responsibility for supporting HM and AVP in the development and implementation of the Entitlement Framework, liaising with other members of NDALC and attending NDALC meetings.
This post will be paid at the rate of two management points and will be funded from dedicated EF money.
• Public Relations Co-ordinator
The successful applicant will be responsible for
• Oversight of the organisation of all major school events: i.e. Speech Night, Remembrance Day, Christmas Carol Services, Open Evening and Easter Service;
• primary school liaison;
• liaison with print and broadcast media to publicise School events or achievements.
A discretionary allowance equivalent to one point will be available for this post.
• Co-ordinator of KS3 Mathematics
The successful applicant will be expected to assist the HOD in the delivery of effective teaching and learning within the Mathematics department and to coordinate delivery of the curriculum at Key Stage 3. An allowance of one point will be available for this post from within already budgeted resources.
• Assistant SENCo
This is an unremunerated post designed to lend support to Carrie Mills and may be suitable for a teacher who wishes to develop his / her pastoral skills.
Staff should be aware that the maximum allocation of points available for teachers below the level of SMT is four.
Applications should be lodged in the Headmaster’s Office by 12 noon on Thursday 9 September 2010.
• Head of Year 8
Applications are now invited for the Head of Year 8 post. The successful applicant will be required to assume the post after the October half term at the latest. He or she will stay with the year group as it moves up through the School.
This post will carry two management points with effect from when the post is taken up. Please note that this post, due to its nature would normally only be open to staff who work full time, i.e. a 5 day working week, and/or who are not already a Head of Department, where the management responsibility spans more than two key stages.
