Embody our guiding principles in your leadership.

This position is full-time (1.0 FTE) with 0.2 FTE teaching load. Job share or part-time arrangements will be considered for suitably qualified candidates.

About You

You are an experienced leader with:

A teaching background and current (or eligible) TRBWA registration.

Demonstrated ability to lead teaching and learning with rigour, innovation and deep inquiry.

Experience with, and/or strong understanding of, the operations and unique context of small, independent schools.

Strategic and operational acumen, including financial and organisational management.

Emotional intelligence, adaptability, and a relational approach to leadership.

Commitment to inclusion, equity and diversity in education.
