Interim Assistant Headteacher, Special School

£25.3 - £29.8 per hourEstimated

About the role

We are working with a well–regarded special school in South West London, looking to appoint an Interim Assistant Headteacher. This is a hands–on, operational leadership role, working closely alongside the Headteacher to lead the day–to–day running of the school and drive teaching and learning.

This is very much a role for a leader who leads from the floor, modelling expectations, coaching and supporting staff, and being properly present in the daily life of the school.

Key responsibilities

  • Working alongside the Headteacher to lead the day–to–day operational running of the school.
  • Driving improvements in teaching and learning, and coaching and developing teaching staff.
  • Overseeing personalised learning and progress linked to EHCP outcomes.
  • Supporting behaviour, safeguarding and the wider culture.
  • Contributing to the senior leadership team and wider school improvement.
  • This is a non teaching position.

About you

  • Experience of working in a special school setting is essential, whether SEMH, autism, MLD or complex needs. You understand how a special school runs day to day.
  • A track record of driving standards and improving teaching and learning in a specialist setting
  • Assistant or Deputy Head level, comfortable in a hands–on, operational role
  • A strong working knowledge of EHCPs and personalised target setting
  • QTS required. A formal SENCo qualification is not essential.

About the school

A friendly, values–driven special school with high aspirations for its pupils.

To apply or find out more, please submit your CV and one of our team will be in touch to discuss the role in confidence.

We are looking for a September start, and the contract will initially run until Christmas. There will be options for permanent positions or contract extensions for the right candidate.
