Initially constructed as a school, site works will be completed at BLC to ensure a high-quality learning environment for students with SEMH/ASC.

The successful candidate will be part of an initially small but growing team at LEPC, with an opportunity to demonstrate excellence and develop professionally and personally, fully supported by AAT and best practice for Secondary SEMH/ASC learning. We will offer you the opportunity to become part of an ambitious team, working in partnership with colleagues from specialist and mainstream contexts to develop learning pathways and community/curriculum links in the local area. LEPC will embed the overall core values and share our inspirational mantra “Happy, Safe, Progress” across Longspee Academy.
