Mayfield School is looking for two Associate Heads of School to join our growing team.

Our school is a special school for 310 pupils aged between 2 and 19 with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities including PMLD, cognition and learning needs and autism.

We are proud to be a Unicef Rights Respecting School, on a journey to achieve the silver award.

We are looking for reliable, consistent, positive and solution focused people who will seek every opportunity to provide rich learning experiences for our pupils and who can show compassion, personal resilience and a commitment to children's universal rights.

This role involves working with a wide range of different stakeholders and so the ability to engage with and include others and build and maintain effective inter-personal relationships, treating others equally and with respect is crucial for success.

This role would suit a teacher with some leadership experience who is aspiring to become a headteacher or principal in the future.

The successful applicants will make up part of a team of four associate heads of school who play vital roles in the strategic and operational leadership of the school.

Each postholder will enjoy a fixed base at one of our two sites with regular opportunities to work in partnership with other leaders within the school and the Trust.

There will be plenty

Applications are welcomed from qualified and experienced teachers who are willing to work collaboratively with others, including external stakeholders, as part of a strong team.

Special school experience is not necessary providing you have a willingness to learn and a dedication to securing positive outcomes for all pupils as well as an understanding of the challenges and opportunities for children and young people with SEND and an education, health and care plan.

A recent welbee staff survey showed Mayfield as being in the top 20% of schools showing that risks of work-related stress and staff wellbeing are effectively managed and controlled.

Our team tell us that they value the in-house training offered by the school and welcome the professional development opportunities available to them.

This post carries a teaching commitment, and you could be asked to teach in any key stage class working with pupils who have persistent differences with social interaction, social communication and understanding emotions.

Our pupils need clear boundaries and consistent support with engagement, learning, emotional regulation and sensory needs.

We are proud to be part of Education Impact Academy Trust where "better never ends".

In addition to the salary, we offer a benefits package for all employees through BSHF and regular opportunities for professional development and growth through the school and as part of the Trust.
