Role description
REGIONAL PRINCIPAL - NORTH METRO REGION
FULL-TIME, 3 YEAR FIXED-TERM CONTRACT
START: JANUARY 2027
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for an experienced educational leader who is ready for wider responsibility. You may currently be a principal, a deputy or associate principal, a head of school, or a leader in an alternative or specialist setting. Your title matters less to us than the kind of leader you are.
- You build trusting relationships with staff, students, families and community partners, and people tend to feel more capable for having worked with you.
- You set clear expectations, develop people deliberately, and address concerns fairly and directly.
- You bring sound judgement to complex situations and can hold competing priorities without losing sight of what matters most for students.
- You work collaboratively across sites and leadership teams, and you count the success of the whole College as part of your own.
- You use data to guide decisions and evaluate progress, while remembering that the numbers describe young people rather than define them.
- You model Alta1’s values and the highest standards of professional conduct.
New to CaRE Schools
You do not need to have worked in a CaRE or special assistance school before. We value relevant educational leadership experience, and we will support you to build a deep understanding of the CaRE context and the young people we serve.
