Personal statement

As a driven, highly-motivated and results orientated teacher, leader and manager, I have a proven track record of providing exemplary excellent levels of service to a variety of different stakeholders in different situations within a school setting. I am looking for a new and exciting opportunity to further enhance and build on my current experience and skills. During my time as a teacher I have been able to nurture a deeper understanding of management skills and to develop a positive approach to leadership and working with others. I have always endeavoured to lead and communicate in a way that is hallmarked by honesty, fairness and consistency together with a sense of perspective, proportion and humour. I am a good role model for staff and like to lead by example, through working hard, being organised, communicating effectively and most crucially being available to listen when needed, in a sensitive and discreet manner. As a role model and Lead Learner in ICT and Computing, I have tried to create an ethos, where staff are happy to contribute, explore and enhance their own particular strengths and talents whilst setting a culture of high expectation and I am positive that I can replicate that in my future working life.
