Role

Ochil Tower School offers 52-week residential placements for children and young people aged 8 – 21 with complex additional support needs requiring a highly personalised education and care setting. Our welcoming and supportive community is based in a parkland location in Perthshire where our central values are living, learning and growing together.

We have recently refreshed our strategic plan which will focus on both consolidating our current school age provision and enhancing our 18 – 21 pathways to better suit the aspirations and preferences of the young adults who stay with us post school. This will include developing more flexible accommodation options to provide individual and small group living arrangements.

An opportunity has arisen for a Head of Care at Ochil Tower. The post holder will work collaboratively as a member of the Executive Leadership Team with the Head of Education, the Head of Quality Assurance & Learning Development, and the Executive Director. The postholder will also be recognised as the Registered Care Manager. While each ELT member holds discrete responsibilities, we place a strong emphasis on collegiate working to ensure that the children and young people at Ochil Tower gain the optimum benefits from their time with us.

If you have the professional and personal enthusiasm and energy to embark on this journey with us, coupled with a history of impactful leadership we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact HR at HR@ochiltowerschool.org for a job specification.
