Cornfield is located in the seaside town of Littlehampton and has 72 students on role, aged between 8 and 16 who have Social, Emotional or Behavioural difficulties. We are looking to appoint a Deputy Headteacher to start in September 2024 or earlier if possible. The successful applicant will work alongside our friendly and supportive team of professionals who put the students at the heart of what we do. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate robustness & resilience as the role can be extremely rewarding but very demanding. It is important to be able to maintain a level of calm and have excellent communication skills with both adults and young people. It is essential to have good organisational skills, the ability to multitask and act as a role model for students. The ideal applicant will have recent experience of working with children with SEN, however experience in Social, Emotional and Communication Difficulties would be advantageous. Management experience is also an advantage, as well as being able to demonstrate excellent classroom practice. The role comes with a small teaching commitment and all subject specialisms will be considered. This is an excellent opportunity for the successful candidate to work in a good school (OFSTED June 2021) that focuses on supporting SEMH students to become more independent and provide them with skills and experiences that will enable them to be successful in life.
