A specialist education organization in the UK seeks an exceptional Headteacher to lead a new SEMH and Autism school. This role involves shaping an inclusive environment from the ground up, focusing on wellbeing and progress while leading a multidisciplinary team. The ideal candidate will have significant experience in similar educational settings and a commitment to trauma-informed practices. The position offers outstanding professional development opportunities, performance-related rewards, and a work-life balance through a trial 4-day work week.
Opening a brand‑new, specialist school for children and young people with SEMH, Autism and associated needs, we are looking for an exceptional Headteacher to bring it to life.
This is a rare chance to shape a school from the ground up, embed therapeutic, trauma‑informed practice from day one, build a culture where wellbeing, safety and progress sit at the heart of everything, lead and inspire a talented multidisciplinary team, and create a place where pupils who may have struggled elsewhere can belong, thrive and succeed. If you are driven by impact and excited by the idea of building something meaningful, this role offers true legacy.
We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.
All applicants will be subject to social media checks and a fully enhanced DBS. All stages of the compliance process are subject to necessary safeguarding checks and statutory requirements.
