Head of Inclusion, Admissions and Partnerships
At Amegreen Education, we want every pupil to feel understood, supported and ready to learn.
We are looking for an experienced education leader to oversee inclusion, admissions and partnerships across our three specialist schools. You will help children and young people with SEND access ambitious learning, develop independence and achieve meaningful outcomes.
As part of our cross-school Senior Leadership Team, you will work with Heads of School, the SENCo and safeguarding leaders to ensure placements are suitable and pupils receive the support they need. This is a strategic role with no routine teaching commitment.
About the role
- Lead Local Authority consultations, reviewing EHCPs, professional reports and safeguarding information to coordinate timely, evidence-based responses.
- Work with school leaders to assess placement suitability, capacity, staffing and resources.
- Build relationships with Local Authorities, commissioners, families and external professionals, coordinating assessments, school tours and visits.
- Oversee individual transition plans, phased starts, professional handovers and the secure transfer of records.
- Monitor initial assessments, attendance, engagement and wellbeing, coordinating support and early placement reviews where needed.
- Lead admissions forecasts and September readiness planning, tracking funding agreements, resources and emerging risks.
- Produce half-termly reports and improve admissions and inclusion systems while keeping pupil welfare central to decisions.
- Maintain secure records, follow agreed approval processes and undertake DDSL duties where formally designated and appropriately trained.
About you
You will bring sound judgement, strong communication skills and a commitment to inclusive specialist education. You will need:
- Qualified Teacher Status recognised by the Department for Education.
- Significant additional study relating to primary-aged pupils' education and/or school management and organisation.
- Experience of SEN education and the Independent School Standards, with an understanding of school leadership and governance.
- The ability to plan strategically, lead change and support staff while maintaining clear expectations.
- A commitment to safeguarding, equal opportunities and continued professional development.
A higher degree, experience across a family of schools, developing assessment systems or engagement with national education organisations would be beneficial.
