Job description

Brava Education is working with a small special school in the East Midlands, who are looking for a calm, organised Interim Headteacher to join them from Monday the 26th of October.

The role

This is a hands-on headship within a small special school. The school takes a nurturing, neuro-inclusive approach and supports pupils with autism, ADHD and other additional needs.

The school has a committed staff team, and your priority will be to bring structure, steady leadership and strong support, putting clear systems in place so staff can focus on teaching and pupils can thrive.

The role may include some teaching, ideally outdoor learning, although this can be worked around.

About you

• Experience leading or deputising in a small special school.
• A calm, empathetic and well-organised approach.
• QTS is essential, and NPQH would be a bonus.
• Experienced deputies ready to step up and newer headteachers are both welcome. Character matters more than years in post.

Terms

The role is interim and full time, 5 days a week on site, starting on Monday 26 October and running until Christmas in the first instance. It offers a competitive daily rate.
