Head Teacher - Primary

Northview House School is an independent through‑school within the Curo Salus organisation. We provide a nurturing, aspirational, and highly individualised learning environment for children and young people who benefit from a more bespoke educational experience.

Our primary department is a vibrant, supportive, and child‑centred community where relationships, wellbeing, and high‑quality learning sit at the heart of everything we do.

We are seeking an exceptional Head Teacher to lead our primary department with vision, compassion, and a deep commitment to improving outcomes for every child.

We are looking for an inspiring and experienced educational leader who can:

• Provide strategic and operational leadership across the primary department
• Champion high-quality learning and teaching that meets the needs of diverse learners
• Foster a culture of inclusion, respect, and positive relationships
• Lead, support, and develop a dedicated team of teachers and support staff
• Work collaboratively with senior leaders across the through‑school
• Ensure compliance with Scottish education standards, inspection frameworks, and safeguarding expectations
• Build strong partnerships with families, carers, and external agencies
• Contribute to the wider vision and values of Curo Salus

This is a role for someone who leads with integrity, models professional excellence, and believes wholeheartedly in the transformative power of education.

We would love to hear from you if you are:

• A qualified and GTCS‑registered teacher with significant leadership experience
• Passionate about inclusive education and trauma‑informed practice
• Skilled in curriculum design, assessment, and supporting diverse learning needs
• An excellent communicator who builds trust and motivates others
• Reflective, resilient, and committed to continuous improvement
• Able to balance strategic thinking with day‑to‑day leadership
• Driven by a genuine desire to make a meaningful difference in children’s lives

Experience within independent, specialist, or therapeutic education settings is advantageous but not essential.
