We are seeking a dedicated Nurture Head of School to join a specialist SEN provision in the Coulsdon area.

As Nurture Head of School, you will lead the day-to-day running of a nurture provision, ensuring a safe, consistent and supportive environment for students with complex needs. You will oversee staff, support high-quality teaching and learning, and implement effective behaviour and pastoral strategies.
