Job overview

Flame Care are currently working in partnership with Cambian Education services to recruit a Head Teacher for their mixed gender specialist residential school for young people aged 16-25 who have Asperger's Syndrome in Bournemouth, The Wing Centre.

For over 35 years Cambian Educations Services have been providing specialist residential schools, care and education for children and young adults with autism, Asperger syndrome, severe learning disabilities, challenging behaviour and complex needs and their services are rated as 'trusted providers' by Ofsted and CQC.

The school has 25 residential placements and for students living close to the centre there is some flexibility for day provision with 21 placements

Staff work alongside students within an accepting environment geared to encouraging young people with AS to accept themselves, understand their diagnosis, tolerate others, build self-confidence and experience success as they make the transition to adult life.

This is achieved through specialist therapy and appropriate educational, social, emotional and vocational programmes that take account of AS learning styles. In addition, links with local colleges allow students to broaden their educational horizons in a mainstream environment.

The Wing Centre also works with parents and students to secure suitable post-19 provision. For some of our students this might mean lifelong learning in another residential setting; for others it could mean accessing their local main stream college or university.

All students are supported throughout the process of transition and, wherever needed, help and guidance are given in an individual, person-centred way.

The Wing Centre's location in Bournemouth allows students easy access to public transport, local amenities and shopping centres, where independence training further prepares them for life in the community.

To confidentially apply for this excellent opportunity or to enquire about further information please contact David Gilbert or Hannah Baker on Freephone on 0800 085 0858 or if calling from a mobile on 01158 114488 alternatively email careers@flame-care.co.uk.
