Bridge Learning Campus is looking to appoint an Assistant Headteacher - Pastoral to make a significant and strategic contribution to our continuing school improvement by removing barriers to school attendance and enabling all pupils to access our high-quality curriculum.

​What are we looking for:

• Enhanced CPD, including access to professional networks across the Trust
• Paid induction and training suited to the role
• Confidential access to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Free parking
