Come and join our team

Required for January 2025, or as soon as possible, a permanent, full-time, excellent practitioner who is ready to take on responsibility for the leadership of provision for students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, in our purpose designed specialist provision.

Situated on the site of Ysgol Glan-Y-Môr, Canolfan-Y-Môr is a specialist setting that supports the education of pupils, with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, aged 11-16. The centre has four classes with varied needs and the successful candidate will lead a dedicated team of teachers and support staff to ensure all pupils receive the best possible educational experience. The role will carry a minimal teaching commitment as all classes will have their own teacher.

We are looking for a well-qualified, inspirational and motivated teacher and leader who is committed to working with pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and has the necessary skills to lead and inspire a team of staff to secure excellent standards within our centre. This is an exceptional opportunity for an outstanding leader to work in an environment that prides itself on working collaboratively to maximize the potential of all its pupils. The successful candidate would be expected to bring an innovative, dynamic and ambitious approach to Canolfan Y Môr and must demonstrate:

• A successful track record of teaching and supporting students with additional needs, specifically autism.
• The ability to maximise resources and to develop strategies for promoting effective progress.
• Evidence of raising achievement for learners.
• A capacity for hard work and performance under pressure.
• An understanding of effective staff development strategies.

The School is committed to raising attainment across all key stages with all pupils and successful applicants need to champion this ethos and demonstrate a sound understanding of the strategies required to achieve this. We are fully committed to the ongoing professional development of all our staff.

Glan-y-Môr and Bryngwyn School are part of a federation that strives to develop excellent standards and opportunities for all its pupils. In this context, the successful candidate would be expected to work collaboratively and closely with colleagues across the federation, but will be based at Glan Y Mor.

Glan-y-Môr has shown significant improvement over time and the Estyn Inspection (2017) recorded that Current Performance and Prospect for Improvement for the school are both Excellent.
