The ideal candidate will have:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with experience in SEND.
  • A strong understanding of the SEND Code of Practice and complex needs such as Autism, ADHD, and FASD.
  • Experience in leading and managing teams with a compassionate, therapeutic approach.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work inclusively with staff, students, and families.
  • A proactive, adaptable attitude, able to set up new systems and processes aligned with the school's values and ethos.
What We Offer

We offer a unique opportunity to shape the SEND provision in a new school, a supportive and collaborative leadership team, professional development opportunities within the Polaris community, and a chance to make a real difference to the lives of children with complex needs.
