We are delighted to be recruiting a Deputy Headteacher to join the founding leadership team of an exciting new Special Educational Needs (SEN) school in Braintree, Essex.

High-quality teaching, learning and therapeutic approaches appropriate to our pupils. Strong systems for safeguarding, behaviour, attendance and pastoral support. Effective partnerships with families, professionals and the wider community. Staff development, wellbeing and a culture of continuous improvement.

For the right person, this role could provide a genuine pathway towards Headship as the school grows. Who We Are Looking For We are seeking a Deputy Headteacher who is an inspirational, values-led and highly motivated educational leader. You will need to bring strong leadership experience, but just as importantly, you will need to bring the right character, values and mindset for a new SEN school.

Believes passionately in the potential of children with SEN. Builds trusting, respectful relationships with pupils, families and colleagues. Leads with warmth, integrity, courage and authenticity. Is reflective, emotionally intelligent and solution-focused. Can turn vision into action and create effective systems from the ground up. Is comfortable with change, ambiguity and the challenges that come with establishing something new. Has the ambition and capacity to grow as a leader alongside the school. Values Come First For us, values, principles and ethos are not simply words on a page. They will be central to the way we build our school and will be fundamental to our recruitment process.

You will have the opportunity to influence what the school stands for and, importantly, how those values are lived every day.

This is an opportunity for someone who doesn't simply want to lead within an established school, but wants to help create one. If you are an ambitious SEN leader, an experienced senior leader ready for your next challenge, or an exceptional educational leader looking for the opportunity to make your mark, we would love to hear from you. This could be the beginning of something very special - for you, for our pupils and for the school community we are building. Could you be part of our founding leadership team? We are looking for a Deputy Headteacher who is ready to shape, inspire and lead - and who has the ambition to grow with us.
