ABSTRACT

As you discuss your job description, try and include something that you are passionately interested in. For me, it was the two hours on my timetable to run staff training on literacy recovery.

Job descriptions and primary schools In a primary school, as the sole deputy, it’s even more important to negotiate a job description because everything and anything could come your way as the headteacher’s only other senior manager. Given that you may have a lot of teaching as a primary deputy, it’s important that your non-contact time is part of the deal for certain time-consuming projects.
