Lighthouse School in Leeds is a completely unique secondary school. In fact, we are the first of our kind in the country – a specialist free school. We focus on a ‘destination-led’ approach for our students who all have a diagnosis of autism (ASC).
Our journey so far has been amazing and we are immensely proud of what our students have achieved. We are a ‘Good’ school with aspirations to be ‘Outstanding’ in the near future. Lighthouse School is dedicated to maintaining its fantastic reputation of providing an individualised education. We provide a flexible learning environment, which reflects the bespoke needs of each and every one of our students. We are committed to inspiring and enabling our students, delivering meaningful skills for life in a holistic, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment. This is achieved through exceptional teaching, unwavering support, outstanding work experience, positive interactions, and role models. We repeatedly instil good behaviours in order to encourage resilience, independence, confidence, and wellbeing in all of our students.

We are seeking a professional individual ideally with experience in or working with social services to work with children and young people. The ideal candidate will possess in-depth safeguarding experience, and be capable of communicating well at all levels with a variety of stakeholders. This is a key position to work across the whole school community with our students, their parents and external agencies to enable students obtain the best possible education, extra-curricular opportunities and care.
