Hadley Learning Community (HLC) is a £70 million school that opened in September 2006 in Telford, Shropshire, just 5 minutes off junction 6 of the M54. The campus consists of a primary, secondary and special school within one, modern and spacious building. 

When you visit, you will instantly feel the ethos of our school: we are fully inclusive and proud of our students and the community we serve.

In our most recent Ofsted, the school was graded as ‘Good with many Outstanding features’ with the highlight being comments on the outstanding care, guidance and support to all of our students. Since 2016, HLC has been positioned in the top 100 schools in the country for progress which is an amazing achievement and one 
we are so proud of. The staff and students of HLC take great pride in their school and work harmoniously together to produce a ‘can do’ culture of high expectations.

We are seeking to appoint an innovative and inspiring Director of Inclusion to join our forward thinking secondary phase from January. It is a fantastic opportunity to join an established SEND/Mental Health team that has excelled in so many areas. In a school that has significantly above national numbers of SEND, EAL and medical needs, alongside the mental health demands in a school of today. The need for the Director of 
Inclusion to be an outstanding leader is imperative to the success and well-being of our children.

This post is suitable for an outstanding teacher and successful leader with relevant experience. The post will demand that you are a dynamic, ambitious and energetic individual who holds an unrelenting passion for children who need additional support. 

The key benefits to working within our school are the relationships with both staff and students that will enthuse you to deliver fantastic lessons each and every day, however, you will also have your own dedicated large teaching room, laptop and appropriate software to support your delivery. You will also have free use of our health and fitness centre, four-court sports hall and 25-metre indoor swimming pool. Importantly, one of our key principles is to support your welfare and as part of this we offer a medical/health package and assist our working families through an on-site nursery which several staff use to support their childcare provision. 
We look forward to receiving your application.
