Job overview

Selworthy School is a growing special school in Taunton, Somerset, supporting learners aged 4-19 with a wide range of learning disabilities. Selworthy is part of The Oak Partnership, a Multi Academy Trust formed in January 2019 based in Taunton, consisting of Selworthy and three primary schools. 

Following a recent expansion we are now based on two campuses and have a capacity of 180. The Oakhill Campus caters for Primary aged learners and the newly built Hazelbrook Campus caters for Secondary and 6th Form aged learners.

We are seeking to appoint a Head of School for our Hazelbrook Campus with overall responsibility for wellbeing throughout Selworthy (both Campuses). Hazelbrook Campus is our new, purpose built secondary and 6th form building which cost £9million and consists of state of the art facilities. We are also in the process of building a hydrotherapy pool. 

The successful applicant will work, as part of a leadership team consisting of Executive Headteacher and two Heads of School, with a dedicated and skilful team of staff at this exciting point in Selworthy’s journey.

We are looking for someone who:

• Puts learners at the centre of everything they do

• Is an outstanding practitioner and is committed to developing others

• Has excellent knowledge in the area of safeguarding and wellbeing

• Is able to work successfully with the whole school community

• Can implement a vision and take people with them

• Can match their own ambitions to the ambitions of our school

We strongly recommend an informal visit. Please contact the school to arrange a convenient time on 01823 284970 (option 3) or via email office@selworthy.oak.education
