  * Start: September 2026

  * Duration: Initially through to Christmas, with strong potential to extend and the opportunity to apply for the permanent posts from January

  * Days: Five days per week, on site

  * Pay: Competitive daily rate via umbrella

What we're looking for:

  * Genuine special school leadership experience

  * Strong track record in either curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment, or pastoral, inclusion and safeguarding leadership
