Job description

With a mission underpinned by its Catholic faith and supported by the Archdiocese of Liverpool, St John Rigby College, a highly successful sixth-form college, seeks to appoint an innovative and inspirational Vice Principal (Communications and Operations) to join our Senior Leadership Team and take us into a bright future as we continue delivering outstanding, inclusive and aspirational education to young people in and around Wigan.

The quality of our provision has recently been recognised by two inspectorates. SJR was awarded an ‘Outstanding’ grading by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate in November 2023 and was then followed by Ofsted awarding the same grade through their January 2024 inspection; the second consecutive time we have been awarded this grading by Ofsted.

The College is a genuinely warm and welcoming place to all. Built upon the values of the Saint after which we are named. We dedicate ourselves to the education and development of the whole person and supporting all students to realise their full potential.

Whilst we retain our Catholic principles, we value deeply the relationships we have built with schools across our surrounding region and we welcome a diverse range of students of all faiths and none. We take great pride in the attitudes of our students who each show a belief in our mission, support our Christian ethos and respect each of their peers.

We are seeking to appoint a talented and committed Vice Principal to become an integral part of our Senior Leadership Team.

At SJR we value work-life balance and the wellbeing of our employees and will endeavour to support flexible working arrangements where possible, whilst ensuring the operational needs of the College are met. We promote equality of opportunity and embrace diversity. The College is accredited as a Disability Confident Employer and is a recognised supporter of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter.
