About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate and inspirational individual to lead the way in transforming the lives of students whose support needs include physical disabilities, learning and communication difficulties and sensory impairments.
We are seeking an outstanding leader with a track record of success in delivering first-class education provision in either a special educational needs or mainstream school setting.
