What skills and experience we're looking for

Do you believe every young person deserves the chance to thrive, no matter how complex their needs? Do you want to lead a school where inclusion, compassion and ambition sit at the heart of everything we do?

We are looking for an exceptional leader to become the next Headteacher of Evergreen Special School—a role that is challenging, deeply meaningful, and profoundly rewarding. Evergreen supports 287 remarkable young people aged4–19 with a wide range of learning needs, including severe, complex and profound difficulties, sensory needs and autism. With two vibrant sites in Warwick, Evergreen is a cornerstone of specialist education in our community and Trust, and we expect you to share our ambition for it to become a regional beacon of excellence. In time we would hope our new Headteacher would lead the Trust ambition to expand our specialist SEND provision.

Our strong relationship with the Local Authority, including nomination for their Ofsted-led Area SEND review, reflects the school’s importance and potential. We need a Headteacher who can inspire teams, build strong partnerships, and lead teaching and learning with clarity, compassion and ambition.

Working with the Trust and the Evergreen LGB, you will shape the curriculum, champion safeguarding, drive student progress, and lead the day‑to‑day life of the school. You will manage staff and resources, nurture a culture of high expectations, and be supported by colleagues across the Trust and our shared services team.

If you are resilient, passionate about inclusion, and ready to make a lasting difference, we would love to hear from you.
