Five days a week (term time plus two weeks)
We are seeking a professional with substantial experience in mental health or safeguarding, given the close overlap between these areas of need, to provide strategic leadership in mental health and wellbeing across the school.
The successful candidate will have:
* Strong, demonstrable experience in mental health practice, ideally within education or child and adolescent settings.
* A solid understanding of trauma‑informed approaches and their application within schools.
* Senior leadership experience, with the capability to design, implement, and quality‑assure wellbeing support provision for pupils throughout the school.
* Experience supervising or leading teams within a mental health or safeguarding context.
While a background as a senior mental health practitioner is ideal, we are also open to professionals from related disciplines - such as social care - who have a strong and proven understanding of mental health and trauma‑informed practice.

Closing date for applications: Friday 1 May
Interviews to be held: Monday 11 May
