head teacher

Inspire Growth. Lead Change. Transform Lives.

Are you a Senior Leader in Special Education who believes that every child deserves a spectacular future? We are looking for a visionary Headteacher to take the helm of our specialist school in Coalville. This is more than an operational role; it is an opportunity to be the catalyst for change for children with Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs).

As the ultimate lead for educational and operational performance, you will have the autonomy to shape an environment that celebrates uniqueness and unlocks the hidden potential in every student.

The Mission

Your goal is to build an "Outstanding" school from the ground up. You won't just be managing a school; you'll be leading an interdisciplinary movement that merges education, therapy, and care into one cohesive, dynamic force.

Key Priorities:

• Visionary Leadership: Develop a strategy that aligns with "The Aurora Way," transforming the school into a beacon of excellence.

• Holistic Development: Ensure the curriculum goes beyond academics, focusing on life skills, independence, and successful transitions to adulthood.

• Empowering Staff: Recruit and mentor a staff team where everyone-from teachers to support services-understands their unique contribution to student outcomes.

• Safety & Excellence: Maintain rigorous standards through the SEF and SDP, ensuring that safeguarding and quality compliance are never compromised.

• Community Impact: Build strategic relationships with local authorities and partner agencies to advocate for the wider SEN agenda.

Who You Are

You are a proactive, empathetic leader who thrives under pressure and views every challenge as an opportunity to innovate.

Your Background:

• Proven Leadership: Experience as a Head, Deputy, or Assistant Head within a specialist school setting.

• Subject Matter Expert: Deep knowledge of SLD and ASD issues, with a track record of using IEPs and assessment data to raise student achievement.

• Strategic Thinker: Skilled in school development planning, self-evaluation, and managing complex budgets.

• Credentials: You hold an NPQH or are ready to work toward one.

• Hands-on Approach: You lead from the front, willing to engage in classroom teaching, physical intervention, or personal care routines as needed to support your team.

Why Lead With Us?

We offer an environment that is safe, stimulating, and fun-not just for students, but for our staff too. We are committed to your professional growth and provide a platform where your leadership can create something truly spectacular.

Our Commitment: We take safeguarding and equality with the utmost seriousness. You will lead by example in promoting a diverse, safe, and inclusive environment for all.

Don't wait to make your mark. The closing date is approaching fast!
