We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, highly motivated and inspirational individual to manage our SEND Facility whilst the current post holder is on maternity leave. The LINK (Learning, Inclusion, Nurture and Kindness) is a specialist educational facility based within our academy. Our facility provision is for eight autistic students with an Education, Health and Care Plan. Our students are taught in mainstream lessons and supported to attend these via The LINK which offers a safe space and base throughout the school day.

In return, we can offer an environment where you will gain whole school experience and learn much on your journey of career progression.  

Our school is unique, exciting and innovative – our philosophy is inclusive and founded on respect. If you feel this fits with your own value set and you have a track record of leading change, raising standards and you strive for excellence, then this might be just the role for you.  

We aim to recruit staff who:

• Love the processes of teaching and learning and are keen to continually develop their own skills; 
• Recognise that teaching can be a demanding job and react positively to those demands; 
• Will subscribe to the ethos of the Academy and be committed to get the very best from our students; 
• Take every opportunity, in and out of the classroom, to talk to students, model expected behaviours and build positive relationships;
• Remain at the forefront of pedagogy, educational research and debate. 
• See themselves as having the potential to become senior school leaders of the future.
