Accelerate your leadership career in a supportive SEMH environment!

Our specialist Alternative Provision (AP) in Barnoldswick 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 rewarding role offers a clear pathway into senior leadership.

Behaviour & Welfare: Lead the implementation of positive and restorative behaviour strategies and act as a crucial link in the safeguarding team (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

Desirable: A resilient, dedicated teacher with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is desireable. 

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 vulnerable young people.
