Head of School

Lighthouse

Education Trust is a completely unique Multi Academy Trust focussing on

providing high quality, destination led learning for students with a diagnosis

of autism.

We are excited to be able to commence the

search for the team for our new school, Lighthouse Harrogate, due to open in

the academic year 2026/27.

Lighthouse School Harrogate is a completely

unique secondary school focussing on providing high quality, destination-led

learning for students with a diagnosis of autism. We already operate a very

successful school in Cookridge, Leeds since 2012. We are a happy and vibrant

community, where young autistic people learn, flourish and thrive. We are

planning for an overall cohort of 80 students with an initial intake of 24.

Students study KS3, and a range of Level 1/2 and Level 3 qualifications,

including BTECs and GCSEs.

We are initially looking for expressions of

interest in the roles that we have available. We plan to make these

appointments in the summer term and will be happy to have informal

conversations with potential candidates. We welcome visits to our Leeds school

where we can show you how we have established a successful model and give you

the chance to meet staff who demonstrate the passion that ensures that we can

make a difference to our students.

Available

roles:

Head of School Leadership

Scale 19-23

Deputy Head/SENDCO Leadership

Scale 11-15

SEN Teachers (x2) MPS + £1000 SEN allowance

For our teacher roles we are looking for people who can

deliver core subjects. Suitable candidates may be primary or secondary trained.

All roles will be Trust appointments and whilst

based primarily in Harrogate may be required to work across other schools in

the trust which may extend beyond Leeds in the future.
