Assistant Head Teacher
An Exceptional Assistant Head Teacher required for The Brier School, an outstanding special school catering for pupils aged 4 16 with complex needs such as autism, medical, physical and speech and language challenges. Our pupils experience significant cognitive and learning difficulties with an increasing number exhibiting severe learning disabilities and medical requirements. Upon entry, their attainment is typically well below the national average.
The Brier School joined the Ascent Academy Trust in June 2025, enhancing our educational framework. Our main site is strategically located between a primary and a secondary mainstream school, promoting inclusive practices. The Unicorn Satellite Centre opened in September 2025. The school has received five consecutive 'Outstanding' Ofsted judgements.
Due to recent expansion we are seeking an inspiring Assistant Head Teacher with a passion for delivering high quality teaching and learning to pupils with a range of complex SEND needs. The successful candidate will work alongside the Senior Leadership Team to develop and evaluate the aims of the school in partnership with pupils, staff, governors and parents. The candidate will lead and manage a dynamic, driven team to excel and deliver an ambitious, yet meaningful curriculum to learners with diverse communication and learning requirements. Flexibility to teach across all key stages and across both Brier School sites would be an advantage.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children; therefore, the post is subject to medical clearance and an enhanced DBS check under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. All applicants must provide documentation to prove their right to work in the UK. Dudley MBC does not currently offer sponsorship for candidates without the Right to Work in the UK.
