Job Description:
The Governing Body of Ysgol Robert Owen is inviting applications from qualified and highly experienced senior leaders, who are willing to accept the challenge of this unique post and to continue the transformation of a specialist provision in a state-of-the-art new building. Having moved into the newest, purpose-built special educational needs facility in September 2024, the Governing Body envisions this as a blank canvas that needs a highly experienced individual to identify and further develop this unique facility and shape special educational needs in the heart of Powys.
The governors of Ysgol Robert Owen are seeking to appoint an inspirational, enthusiastic, and highly committed head teacher who will lead and develop the specialist provision, learners, staff, and parental/family resilience. The successful candidate will also develop links with the local and wider community and external agencies. It is essential that the individual:
* puts the social and educational needs of the children and young people first and is wholeheartedly committed to improving the opportunities for all learners;
* has a proven record of highly successful senior leadership in specialist provisions and is able to motivate, inspire and develop others;
* has excellent interpersonal skills and can further strengthen parental and community links; and
* has the vision, drive, and enthusiasm to maintain and enhance our high performing culture.
Learners and governors expect prospective candidates to visit our specialist provision. During these visits, candidates will spend significant time with learners across all age groups and with the broadest needs. Visits can be arranged during term time until the closing date.
The starting date for the post is by agreement between all parties and within the period January 2026 to September 2026. A thorough handover from the current Head Teacher will be essential and agreed in advance.

Ysgol Robert Owen is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or religion.
