* be highly motivated, enthusiastic, skilled and solution focused

* have a good track record of raising standards and leadership

* be committed to developing positive behaviour

* be an exceptional leader and be able to get the best out of others

* drive school improvement, relishing the challenge of creating our future

* lead on maintaining excellent standards in the quality of education and welfare of all

* live the schools’ values

Why work for us?

* a competitive salary

* a comprehensive induction programme so you can hit the ground running

* continued professional development and training

* Teachers’ pension contributions for qualified teachers

* a friendly, passionate team committed to getting the best outcomes for our young people

Benefits include:

* £500 refer-a-friend bonus

* OFSTED bonuses

* life insurance

* cycle to work scheme and laptop loans

* discounts on cinema trips, electronics, fashion, home and garden, travel, groceries, gifts, utilities, health and fitness

* long service and employee of the month awards

* employee assistance and counselling service, wellbeing support and advice

Olsen House is a very special place indeed. We cater for some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people in society. All our pupils have an Education Health and Care plan, which describes additional need in Social, Emotional and Mental Health. Many are on the autism spectrum and a considerable proportion have several comorbid additional needs. Many of our young people can present with behaviours of concern and it takes a very special person to support them. We serve children and families from the Merseyside area and beyond. Our success is based on establishing exceptionally powerful relationships, helping pupils to develop pro-social skills that enable them to navigate society more successfully. We operate without sanctions, and we use reward to achieve a calm learning environment for all, modifying behaviour over the long term. Our emphasis is always to support pupils make choices that are positive for everyone.

Kedleston Group Limited is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You will be expected to engage in annual safeguarding training, be familiar with key policies and ensure you know the steps to take should you be made aware of a safeguarding or child protection concern. You will remain vigilant and act swiftly if you have concerns about a child and be an appropriate role model for both children and colleagues at all times.

The successful candidate is required to provide references and will be expected to undertake an enhanced DBS check. We will ask you to complete a criminal self-declaration form, and we will conduct online searches for information that is publicly available. We are an equal opportunities employer welcoming applications from all sections of the community.
