We are seeking to appoint a talented, creative and innovative thinker to our middle leadership team who will be instrumental in leading the development of the Science and Land Studies Curriculum.

If you are a quality leader willing to take our excellent and happy team of staff to the next level and able to further Bradfields as a well-known and respected Special Academy then you should consider applying for this position.

The successful candidate will be provided with individualised professional support and induction; including accessing further professional qualifications as required.
