About Us:
Two Bridges Academy is a specialist SEND school that opened in September 2024 and, in a short time, has established an exceptional educational offer for our pupils. As we move towards our final phase of growth in September 2026, we are now seeking to expand our leadership capacity by appointing an outstanding Assistant Headteacher.
We are designated as a provision for pupils with SLD and PMLD, with a large proportion of our cohort having ASC or SLCN identified as the primary need on their EHCP. Our provision is carefully adapted to meet the diverse needs of all pupils.
We are looking for Teaching Assistants who understand the needs of pupils with these complex SEND needs and share our passion for fostering a learning environment which nurtures, challenges and celebrates every pupil.
Why join us?
- We are a positive and energetic team that values support and collaboration.
- You will contribute to the growth and development of a new expanding school.
- You will work in a purpose built provision with specialist facilities.
- You will receive a comprehensive programme of induction, training and support.
- Daily Staff Professional Time (non-contact time) is built into your contracted hours.
- Most importantly, you will gain memorable experiences of supporting pupils to learn and develop their independence and self-confidence.
If you're ready to make a real difference, every single day, then we'd love to hear from you.
