About this Role

Plantsbrook School is seeking to appoint an exceptional and highly motivated Deputy Headteacher for Inclusion and Wellbeing to join our Senior Leadership Team from January 2027.

This is a pivotal leadership role within the school, offering the opportunity to shape a culture where every young person feels safe, supported, and able to achieve their full potential. The successful candidate will provide strategic leadership across inclusion, safeguarding, wellbeing, attendance, and behaviour, ensuring that all pupils—regardless of background, disadvantage, or SEND status—experience a high-quality and equitable education.

As a senior leader, you will play a key role in driving our inclusive ethos, working closely with colleagues, families, and external partners to ensure that vulnerable pupils receive the support they need to thrive both academically and personally.

The Role

The Deputy Headteacher will:

  • Lead the school’s strategic approach to inclusion, ensuring the curriculum is accessible and ambitious for all learners, including those with EHCPs, Children in Care, and pupils facing barriers to attendance.
  • Act as a senior member of the safeguarding team, ensuring robust safeguarding practice across the school.
  • Champion student and staff wellbeing, promoting a culture of care, respect, and resilience.
  • Lead strategies to improve attendance and punctuality, using data to inform targeted interventions.
  • Support colleagues to maintain high standards of behaviour, promoting positive and restorative approaches.
  • Line manage key staff, including the Assistant Headteacher (Behaviour, Standards and Community) and the SEND team, supporting professional development and accountability.
  • Contribute to whole-school strategic planning, working closely with the Headteacher and Governors on school improvement priorities.
  • Maintain a teaching commitment of approximately 0.3, modelling excellent classroom practice.

The Person

We are looking for a senior leader who:

  • Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and has significant leadership experience in a secondary school.
  • Has a strong track record in pastoral leadership, safeguarding, and behaviour management.
  • Demonstrates the ability to use data strategically to improve outcomes for students.
  • Is an outstanding communicator, capable of building strong relationships with staff, students, parents, and external partners.
  • Leads with empathy, optimism, and integrity, fostering a culture of support and high expectations.
  • Is passionate about comprehensive education, inclusion, and community engagement.

Why Join Plantsbrook School?

Plantsbrook School is a thriving and ambitious secondary school committed to providing an inclusive, supportive, and academically challenging environment. As part of the Broadleaf Partnership Trust, we are dedicated to collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to help shape the future direction of the school while making a meaningful difference to the lives of our students and wider community.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful candidates will be subject to an enhanced DBS check. We reserve the right to close the advert early if a strong field of applicants is received prior to the closing date. We are committed to equality and value diversity, and therefore particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups. This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak fluent and spoken English is an essential requirement for this role. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020,

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
