We have an exciting permanent opportunity for a ‘Head of Education’ to join our Linn Moor Campus in Peterculter, Aberdeen. This is a rare opportunity to lead a school where the staffing, therapeutic expertise and facilities are already in place to do the meaningful, creative and ambitious work that children with complex needs deserve. We are looking for a leader who is inspired by the possibilities this environment offers and who is committed to helping every pupil thrive.

As Head of Education, you will lead a small, highly resourced specialist residential school dedicated to supporting children and young people with autism and complex needs. Our setting offers an exceptional environment for meaningful, child-centred education: small class sizes, consistent one-to-one staffing, and an experienced, well-established team of teachers and education support workers who are deeply committed to our pupils.

You will work alongside a skilled, multidisciplinary therapy team, enabling truly integrated practice that places communication, wellbeing and development at the heart of learning. The school benefits from outstanding physical and professional resources, including extensive rural grounds, sensory spaces, a working farm, and a fleet of transport that allows us to extend learning far beyond the classroom.

If you would like to find out more about life as Head of Education at Linn Moor Campus, we would love to hear from you and will be happy to facilitate informal enquiries. A full Job Description is also available from our Recruitment Team on request at recruitment@vsa.org.uk.
