Reporting directly to the Headteacher, you will provide strategic leadership across the school's business functions, leading operational teams and ensuring the effective delivery of services that support pupils, staff and families.

Your areas of responsibility will include:

Finance – leading budget planning, financial monitoring, resource allocation, and financial oversight to ensure value for money and support school priorities.
Property & Facilities – leading the school's estate, health & safety, compliance, and facilities management, ensuring a safe and effective learning environment.
Operations & Administration – leading the school's operational support functions, including the Office Manager, reception/front desk, senior administration and wider operations team, ensuring effective systems, processes and service delivery.
HR & Employee Relations – working alongside Ambitious about Autism's central People Team to support recruitment, employee relations, workforce planning, and staff development whilst providing advice and support to managers.
Strategic Projects – driving operational improvements, developing systems, and supporting the future growth and development of the school.

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you'll contribute to the strategic direction of the school while leading and developing high-performing operational teams.

Every operational decision ultimately supports our pupils. We are looking for a leader who shares our commitment to enabling autistic children and young people to thrive and achieve their full potential.

Remains calm under pressure and thinks clearly when faced with unexpected challenges.
Enjoys improving systems, solving problems, and making a genuine impact.
Shares our commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes for autistic children and young people.

Working in a specialist autism school means you'll be part of a fast-paced, varied and incredibly rewarding environment. The role requires someone who is adaptable, solutions-focused, and comfortable leading in a setting where operational challenges can arise unexpectedly.

Why Join Us?

Be part of an Ofsted Outstanding specialist autism school.
Join an ambitious, collaborative and values driven leadership team.
Play a key role in shaping the future of one of the UK's leading specialist education settings.
Access professional development opportunities through Ambitious about Autism.
