Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role presents an exciting opportunity for an existing Executive Headteacher to join a successful, forward-thinking federation, with committed staff and Governors, who are open to expanding The Saints Federation further.
Governors are focussed on ensuring the wellbeing of all staff, especially senior leaders, and are offering up to six wellbeing days per year during term time for the Executive Headteacher. They are also committed to providing and supporting ongoing CPD for the successful candidate.
As each school retains its own unique identity, visits to all three are essential. You are welcome to visit the schools between 7th - 11th September, so that you can experience the caring, supportive atmosphere in our schools for yourself. These visits may form part of the selection process.
