• Running your site day‑to‑day – visible, present, and quick to act when something needs a decision.
• Leading, coaching and holding your staff team to account, including appraisal, supervision and professional development.
• Acting as Deputy DSL and Assistant SENCO – real statutory responsibility, not just a line on a job description.
• Making sure EHCP provision happens in practice, not just on paper, and monitoring the quality of teaching and adaptive practice across your site.
• Leading de‑escalation, restorative practice and behaviour support that actually changes outcomes for pupils who have been let down by education before.
• Owning your site's budget, resources, and quality assurance – and telling senior leaders what they need to hear, not what's easy to say.

• Qualified Teacher Status and significant experience working with pupils with SEND and/or SEMH needs.
• Real leadership experience – you’ve managed people, held difficult conversations, and made decisions that stuck.
• Secure knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice, KCSIE, and what safeguarding looks like in practice, not just in policy.
• The resilience to stay calm and regulated when the day doesn’t go to plan – because in this setting, it often won’t.
• A full, clean manual driving licence and the willingness to travel between sites.

You'll be trusted with real autonomy from day one, backed by senior leaders who treat you as a professional resource rather than a name on an org chart. You'll work alongside people who’ve chosen to do the hardest, most important job in education – giving vulnerable young people a version of school that finally works for them. If you want a leadership role with genuine weight and genuine reward, this is it.

• Enhanced DBS with barred list check.
• Verification of identity and qualifications.
• Right to Work in the UK.
• Requirement for satisfactory references (including most recent employer).
• Online/social media checks in line with statutory guidance.
