SEND Headteachers (SEND or Mainstream background)

Leadership Scale
Are you a headteacher looking for a different role where you can have a high impact and shape a school with your vision?
Whether you are already working in a SEND environment or a mainstream headteacher looking to transition to a specialist environment, we can help you find the right role for your career.
Every role in senior leadership presents a different challenge. Yet sometimes you are restricted by remit, resource or a narrow vision. Frustrations grow and the time for change arrives.
Your career is important, so you will want to work with SEND experts who listen to you. Naturally you will want to feel you are understood and that your motivators, experiences and skillset are utilised fully.
Now is the time to at least be looking at the opportunities your career so far can offer you. September discussions are happening and we can facilitate conversations with multiple schools investing in their SLT.
We are very different in our approach as you will see from the voices reviewing and recommending us. If you would like your journey so far to be recognised and respected, Parker Smith Inclusion is the right partner for you and your future.
