Kite Ridge House, in partnership with home and the wider community is committed to providing exciting, challenging and high quality teaching, personal development and learning within a happy, caring, safe and totally supportive environment.

  • The ability to rise to the challenge of maintaining and enhancing educational standards for the complex needs of our diverse range of challenging students

In return, we offer you:

  • The opportunity to work with some wonderful young people to make a significant difference to their lives
  • A highly committed and strongly supportive Management Committee
  • Hard working, committed, enthusiastic and loyal staff
  • A positive and creative environment

This is a highly challenging role for a talented leader dedicated to the long-term success and progression of Kite Ridge House and its students. This is a thoroughly rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of a group of special young people and their families.
