We are looking for an experienced senior leader in schools to join us in this post to deliver a fixed term project for 2 years.

As we further develop the Early Help Eco System, the Headteacher Coaches will provide direct support based upon coaching and Restorative Practice principles to support the new Early Help model to become fully embedded across Warwickshire.
We need someone with extensive senior leadership in schools, especially as a Safeguarding Lead, who would relish the opportunity to support other fellow Headteachers, SENCO’s and Safeguarding Leads raise their capability, confidence and capacity in the new world of Early Help.
