Horizon Care and Education are excited to be opening two new schools in the Midlands area in September 2024 and are looking for a Deputy Head Teacher to join us on our journey!
We are looking for a person who can demonstrate vision, resilience and empathy and can evidence the capacity to deliver both high support and high challenge. We are a 'values-based' organisation and, as such, we expect our leaders to embody our values.

We are seeking a leader who demonstrates their commitment to our values in an intentional way, using them as a touchstone to define actions, make decisions and fulfil our collective mission.
