This is a Permanent, Full Time vacancy that will close in {x} days at {xx:xx} BST.
The Vacancy
We are seeking a dynamic, forward-thinking professional to lead and develop our Post 16 provision for neurodiverse young people, particularly those with Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) and/or Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This is a unique opportunity for someone who is passionate about creating meaningful, personalised pathways that support our students’ transition into adulthood, further education, employment, and independent living.
You will be an innovative curriculum leader with a strong understanding of vocational learning, enterprise education, and therapeutic approaches. You’ll thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with teaching staff, therapists, external partners, and families to deliver a high-quality, outcomes-driven experience for every learner.
We are looking for someone who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery—someone who can inspire young people to see their potential, build their confidence and skills, and help them make successful, sustainable steps into adult life. If you’re committed to inclusive education, creative in your problem-solving, and driven by positive outcomes for every student, we’d love to hear from you.
The Company
TCES is an independent social enterprise, providing specialist therapeutic education based in London supporting exceptional neurodiverse children and young people aged 7 to 19 who have special educational needs and disabilities typically associated with autism, social emotional and mental health needs and associated disorders. Most of them will have experienced multiple placement breakdowns and significant trauma, often resulting in behaviour that challenges. On average pupils will have been excluded from other provisions up to three times before reaching us and had significant periods out of education.
TCES pupils learn at one of our two schools, at our Create Learning Primary, through our Create in the Community service or within our National Online School; our Create services support our most complex and vulnerable pupils, with highly differentiated and personalised holistic therapeutic education programmes developed for each pupil focusing on development milestones. When they are ready, we aim for pupils to step down from Create into one of our main school, our Sixth Form, or into mainstream provisions.
