How would you like to get paid for five days, but only work four?
At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance — and we’re putting wellbeing first.
That’s why we’re proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) trial, where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full-time pay.
Many of our schools have already introduced the 4DWW — and others are preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing. So, whether it’s already in place or just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to join #teamOFG.
Job Title: Headteacher
Location: Baston House School, Bromley, Kent
Salary: Up to £100,000 per annum dependent on experience and qualifications (not pro rata)
Hours: Monday to Friday
Contract: Permanent | Term Time Only
Start: January 2026
UK applicants only; no sponsorship available.
Are you an innovative, strategic leader passionate about transforming the lives of children and young people? Baston House School, an established Options Autism school within the Outcomes First Group, is seeking an exceptional Headteacher to lead our thriving community.
This is a unique opportunity to build on an already strong foundation — shaping the vision, culture, and direction of a school that empowers pupils with autism and complex needs to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. You will lead a talented team, embedding a culture of high expectations, aspiration, and personalised support.
About the Role
As Headteacher, you won’t just manage a school — you’ll set the vision, inspire a passionate team, and create an environment where innovation, inclusion, and excellence are at the heart of everything we do. You will champion personalised education, foster confidence and independence in pupils, and ensure our curriculum, pastoral support, and enrichment opportunities are tailored to each child’s strengths and potential.
You’ll lead with purpose, guiding a dedicated team of educators, therapists, and support staff, building a collaborative culture where professional growth, creativity, and innovation are celebrated. From safeguarding and compliance to operational excellence and strategic development, you will be the driving force that ensures Baston House remains a centre of excellence for specialist autism education.
This is a rare opportunity for a Headteacher who is ambitious, compassionate, and ready to leave a lasting legacy, shaping futures, unlocking potential, and transforming the lives of young people every single day.
Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking a dynamic, forward-thinking leader with:
Proven leadership experience as a Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher
Expertise in autism, SEN, and complex behavioural needs
Strong knowledge of Ofsted frameworks, school improvement, and raising attainment
Experience in budget and resource management
A relevant teaching qualification and the ability to inspire, motivate, and develop teams
A commitment to safeguarding, high-quality teaching, and pupil wellbeing
At Baston House School, every pupil is supported to reach their potential in a safe, structured, and inspiring environment. You will lead a passionate team of education, care, and clinical professionals, all committed to helping pupils with autism thrive.
This is a rare opportunity for a visionary Headteacher to make a tangible difference — driving innovation, shaping futures, and ensuring every pupil at Baston House has the opportunity to succeed, be confident, and lead a fulfilling life.
Why join Options Autism?
We place the outcomes of the pupils in our services at the heart of everything we do, so you’ll wake every day in the knowledge that your role will have a significant positive impact on the lives of others.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils. All applicants will be subject to social media checks and successful applicants to a fully enhanced DBS.
Benefits
Your health and wellbeing are important to us, so you’ll get an exceptional reward package including:
Life Assurance
Pension scheme with options to increase your contributions
“Your Wellbeing Matters” – access to a wide range of first-class mental health support services and physical health checks
And a market-leading benefit offering through our Flexible Benefits Platform, Vista, enables you to choose the package that’s right for you, including:
A wide range of health, wellbeing, and insurance benefits
100’s of discount options valid in the UK and abroad
Cycle to Work Schemes
Electric Car Purchase Scheme
Critical illness cover
Family Growth Support - inclusive benefits package covering enhanced maternity and paternity leave, along with paid fertility treatment support.
We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.
*You’ll work 80% of your contractual hours for 100% of your pay, giving you more time to do the things that make you happy. 4DWW is subject to successful completion of probation and is not a contractual benefit
