Accelerate your leadership career and champion change in Blackpool!

Our specialist Alternative Provision (AP) in Blackpool is recruiting an exceptional and resilient Lead Teacher to embark on a structured Deputy Headteacher Training Programme, commencing January 2026 (or sooner).

This unique and highly rewarding role offers a clear pathway into senior leadership, making a profound impact in the local community. You will receive direct mentorship and targeted professional development to prepare you for the strategic and operational demands of a Deputy Headteacher within a complex needs setting.

Bespoke Mentorship: Receive specialised leadership training and direct coaching from the Headteacher, focusing on AP strategy, local safeguarding issues, finance, and therapeutic approaches.

Operational Leadership: Take immediate ownership of key operational areas, including daily timetable management, curriculum differentiation, and leading data tracking for SEND/SEMH outcomes.

Behaviour & Welfare: Lead the implementation of positive and restorative behaviour strategies and play a crucial role as a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL training provided).

Competitive Package: An immediate salary of up to £38,000, with guaranteed career progression and salary review upon successful transition to the full Deputy Head post.

Who We Are Looking For

Essential: A resilient, dedicated teacher with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential.

Experience: Proven experience in a leadership capacity (e.g., Phase Lead, TLR holder) within an AP, Pupil Referral Unit (PRU), or a mainstream setting with a high volume of SEMH/SEND pupils.

Attributes: You must demonstrate exceptional commitment to a fast-track leadership development plan and possess a deep, non-judgemental passion for securing positive outcomes for students in the Blackpool area.
