MindSenseAbility (MSA) is a specialist therapy and education service based in the New Forest for young people with Autism, developmental trauma and mental health needs. Many of our students receive bespoke educational therapeutic programmes delivered in a variety of environments through the funding of the local education authorities, health and adoption services.
We have an exciting new opportunity for a Head of Education to help develop a new specialist provision and then continue to provide educational leadership across the service working in partnership with the Clinical Leadership Team.

Whether you are a primary or secondary specialist, being creative, flexible and supportive in your approach and working with the existing multidiscipline team is vital. You will oversee the implementation of educational therapeutic programmes and take a leadership role, with a small amount of direct work with young people and their families. MSA have an established positive reputation with our commissioning bodies partners which has developed over the past 8 years. You must have access to a car (as the post requires you to work throughout the New Forest and areas within Hampshire and Dorset, and within the young person’s home on occasion).
The candidate will enjoy the support of other committed and passionate professionals working to address the needs of young people, who at times find education a challenge.
