ASCL is seeking to appoint a field officer to undertake casework supporting ASCL members. The post will cover the London region, supporting the regional officer.
The post of field officer requires up-to-date knowledge and experience of the issues facing the senior leadership teams of schools and colleges and the ability to deal with individuals at a senior level.

There will be regular contact with, and visits to, ASCL HQ in Leicester plus regular training sessions. IT and telephone equipment will be provided.
ASCL is an equal opportunities employer and offers a very generous package of benefits, including 33 days holiday plus bank holidays and a pension scheme to which the association contributes 9%.
