Deputy Centre Manager - Alternative Provision (Wellingborough)

Tradewind Recruitment are proud to be supporting a forward-thinking education provider at their established Alternative Provision site in Wellingborough.

We are now seeking an experienced and passionate Deputy Centre Manager to join this successful setting. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in supporting the leadership and continued development of a provision that delivers a positive, inclusive, and impactful learning environment for young people who benefit from a more tailored approach to education.

As Deputy Centre Manager, you will support the overall leadership and day-to-day running of the provision. This role offers a balance of both teaching and leadership responsibilities, allowing you to work directly with students while also contributing to staff development, curriculum delivery, and operational management.

You will work closely with the Centre Manager to lead a team of dedicated staff, maintain high standards of teaching and learning, and build strong relationships with students, families, and external professionals.

The ideal candidate will:

  • Have proven experience within education, with some leadership responsibility, ideally in SEND or alternative provision settings
  • Be passionate about supporting students with additional needs and barriers to learning
  • Demonstrate strong organisational and communication skills
  • Be committed to developing both staff and students
  • Have a flexible, proactive, and solution-focused approach

This setting is committed to doing education differently - prioritising wellbeing, engagement, and meaningful outcomes for students, while also creating a supportive and rewarding environment for staff.

This role is available on either a permanent or temp-to-perm basis and will be managed exclusively through Tradewind Recruitment, who will support you throughout the process.

If you are ready to take the next step in your career and make a real difference in a rewarding leadership role, we would love to hear from you.
