Job Description
The School
There are very few organisations that genuinely transform lives. Northease is one of them.
Northease Manor is an outstanding independent school for neurodiverse children and young people who have struggled in mainstream schools.
Situated just south of Lewes in East Sussex, the school’s centrepiece is a 17th century manor house set in 12 acres of grounds, surrounded by the rolling countryside of the South Downs. This gives the school a spectacular campus along with plenty of room for sports and outdoor activities. The coast is just four miles away.
The Northease Purpose
‘Making the difference. Transforming lives.’ At Northease we combine specialist expertise with passion and freedom to deliver impactful outcomes for our young people and all those who have touched their lives. We recognise and value difference and diversity and encourage independence and creativity.
Our Vision
Our vision is to become the leading special educational needs provider; equipping young people with the skills, attitudes, behaviours and opportunities to flourish. Our ambition is to role-model educational excellence, to be pioneers in research and continuously seek to do better and be better. We aim to provide a personalised education through bespoke solutions, and to allow everyone to overcome challenges with resilience and confidence, and to thrive by achieving one’s potential.
