We are seeking to appoint an experienced, passionate and dynamic leader to the post of Head of Centre at Rise@GHC on a fixed term contract of up to one year (e.g. 1 September 2021 – 31 August 2022). 

Rise@GHC is a specialist unit serving pupils aged 11-19 with autistic spectrum conditions living in Bracknell Forest and other local authorities.

We offer a positive, friendly and supportive atmosphere, a strong team ethos, a strong staff association and the very best programme of professional development together with opportunities for career development. 

Garth Hill College is a happy and vibrant place of learning. We are proud to be a genuinely comprehensive school and offer a wide and diverse range of excellent opportunities, inside and outside the classroom, that we believe enable our young people to develop exceptionally well both academically and personally. Garth Hill College was recently rated as ‘good’ by Ofsted in May 2019. The inspectors commented on the determination and passion of staff to continue to develop the College.
