Deputy Head

Deputy Head

Are you looking for a career in which you can help shape a school and make a real difference to the futures of young people? Are you looking for a school with longer holidays and shorter days?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our unique setting in the role of Deputy Head. This is a new role in the school due to expansion of our services into outreach meaning that we need to increase our leadership team from 3 to 4 personnel.

We specialize in supporting young people who do not have a typical diagnosis on their EHCP. We are a very small, nurturing setting that blends learning opportunity with intensive support in maintaining positive mental health as well as developing social and life skills.

As well as enthusiasm for the job, a desire to develop your own expertise and excellent organisational skills, you will have a belief that Additional Needs come with positives as well as difficulties – you will actively promote the achievements of the neuro-diverse in society. You will see ‘difference’ as necessary in society, not life-limiting.
