Established in 2020 and having achieved successful status as an Independent Special School for Social, Emotional, Mental Health and Autism Spectrum Disorder, Omnia Foundation offers a unique experience for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), for 12–16-year-old boys.
We believe in investing in people. As professionals in the teaching and training professions, we strive to provide a better future for the children, young people and home settings we work with. Success for us means unleashing the potential of each individual so they can grow, develop and reach the potential of which they are capable. Our values are grounded in our determination to be the change we want to see in the world, through passion, commitment and integrity. We strive to plant a seed of kindness and compassion in a generation that will produce resilience and hope and enable them to aspire and achieve productive and fulfilled lives. Our success is measured in the lives we changed.
At Omnia Foundation, we create a secure and safe environment that encourages communication, self-belief, mutual respect and success. We provide a rich and balanced curriculum that develops every child, allowing them to achieve their true potential.
We have high expectations of our students and build a secure and happy atmosphere in which students can learn effectively.
Based in Rayleigh, Essex with close transport links to London, our current location is set within a sports and social club, with exciting plans for a new school building.
We have an exciting opportunity for a new Head not only to lead Omnia Foundation, Rayleigh but also to work with the Executive Director, the senior leaders, staff and students to establish an outstanding and innovative model of provision that can be replicated in other localities.
We are therefore seeking to appoint an inspirational and dynamic leader to work with our Foundation community to ensure the best possible outcomes for all students at Omnia. The successful candidate will have the experience, energy and enthusiasm to build on the existing foundations.
We are looking for someone with strong leadership and management skills, who will work with the staff in taking the Foundation to greater levels of achievement. In return for your enthusiasm and commitment you can be assured of the support of an equally enthusiastic and committed staff and a supportive Chief Executive Officer and Board.
The new Head of Foundation will be passionate about changing young lives, a skilled communicator, and an ambassador for Omnia Foundation, actively promoting what we stand for in the wider community and joining us in our clear vision for developing the provision in other locations in the future.
We are looking for an individual whose leadership, energy and personal skills will command the respect of all within the school and the wider community. The successful applicant will be someone whose personal values align to those of the Foundation and who will lead by example demonstrating high professional standards.
Applicants will have previous successful senior leadership experience within an educational setting.
