Bright Futures, Inspired By You.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Deputy Head Teacher to join our new team

NEW SCHOOL OPENING SEPTEMBER 2024

Want to work for a company with great values? Are you compassionate? Inspiring? Dependable? Collaborative?

Do you have experience with Autism Spectrum Condition, ASC or previous experience of working with students with ASC?

We are a holistic school educating learners from the age of 7 - 19 with up to 40 students. We support our students with the familiarity, predictability, structure and boundaries that they need to be successful in life.

Our specialist independent schools offer unrivalled opportunities, securing sound educational outcomes with personalised, inclusive, and stimulating programmes of learning. We provide education and support to children and young people who have complex special educational needs and require their SEN provision to be delivered in a specialist setting.

We are looking for a person who can demonstrate vision, resilience and empathy and can evidence the capacity to deliver both high support and high challenge. We are a 'values-based' organisation and, as such, we expect our leaders to embody our values. A leader is someone who knows what is important to them and who uses their values, and those of the school, as a guide and a motivator. We are seeking a leader who demonstrates their commitment to our values in an intentional way, using them as a touchstone to define actions, make decisions and fulfil our collective mission.

The successful applicants will need to:

  • Experience working as a Deputy Head Teacher in a similar environment
  • Be an Ofsted expert, maintain and build your understanding of requirements, helping the school move towards an outstanding rating.
  • Ability to motivate, drive and support staff and pupils, using a person-centred approach.
  • A real 'can do, will do' attitude, with the desire to succeed and improve our school.
  • Excellent communication and top-quality relationship building skills.
  • Has a commitment and passion to work with pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs, along with a range of other difficulties including trauma, attachment and associated challenging behaviours
  • Has a clear vision, strong leadership, and effective management skills.
  • Is an exceptionally enthusiastic and committed leader to manage and motivate pupils and staff, and can lead, motivate, and inspire teams to raise standards in student outcomes.
  • Is familiar with the need for creativity in delivering the National Curriculum, whilst supporting pupils to overcome their barriers to learning.
  • Has a solid understanding of the new Ofsted Education Inspection Framework and Independent School Standards

About us:

We take great satisfaction in being "good neighbours." Horizon schools foster a healthy sense of community both inside and outside of their immediate surroundings.

As part of our highly personalised and purposeful provision, pupils at our schools participate in a wide range of academic, creative, sporting, and vocational learning opportunities and activities, which supports them in developing a range of skills and maximising learning outcomes. Young people take part in a wide range of courses, from music to construction, as well as being given every opportunity to excel in their core subjects, such as mathematics and English.

At Horizon Care and Education, our Deputy Head Teachers will be supported by our Director of Curriculum, Headteachers, Operational Directors and the Managing Director of Education Services as well as our extensive therapeutic team.
