Deputy Head Teacher

Alfreton Park Community Special School is a popular and successful special school catering for the needs of 86 pupils with a range of severe, profound and complex learning difficulties, aged 2-19 years. Judged as ‘good’ by OFSTED (November 2016), the Headteacher and governors are looking for an ambitious, dedicated, inspirational and enthusiastic professional to assist in the leadership of the school.

This is an amazing opportunity, as the school is entering the final phase of planning for its brand-new building, which is due to open in 2021. The Deputy, in conjunction with the SLT, will play a crucial role planning and managing the transition from the current site to the new build.

This is an excellent opportunity for:

• An outstanding and dynamic teacher who inspires by example.
• A passionate and caring practitioner with high expectations of achievement and dedication to maintaining a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment which reflects the school commitment to safeguarding and equality.
• A strategic thinker who will work alongside the Headteacher to provide, challenge and support in implementing positive change.
• A leader of learning who is committed to raising standards and to ensuring that all children achieve their full potential.
• A manager and team leader who possesses excellent interpersonal, organisational and communication skills.
• A professional able to work in partnership with parents, carers, staff, governors and the community.

Prospective candidates may visit at 9.30am on June 24th 2019 (please contact the office to confirm attendance) or contact Cheryl Smart, Headteacher to arrange a visit if required.
