Assistant Principal (Inclusion)
Teaching Vacancies - Nottingham
PermanentFull time
What skills and experience we're looking for Do you want to make a real difference to the lives and futures of young people?If you are ready to lead inclusion with purpose, work collaboratively and help shape better outcomes for our students, we would be delighted to hear from you. At CP Riverside School, we believe that every student has the potential to succeed, but that not every student will take the same path to get there. Following the retirement of our long-serving Assistant Principal, we are looking for an Assistant Principal (Inclusion) who shares this belief and has the experience, determination and compassion to turn it into reality. This is an integral role within our Senior Leadership Team, with the opportunity to shape how we support students, develop our staff, and ensure every student has the chance to achieve their best. We are looking for someone who understands that inclusion is not simply about the provision we put in place; it is about the relationships we build, the expectations we set and the barriers we work together to remove. You will lead our provision for disadvantaged students, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), English as an Additional Language (EAL), those who are looked after or previously looked after and those entitled to pupil premium. As SENCO and Designated Teacher for Looked After and Previously Looked After Children, you will bring these areas together into a clear, effective strategy that makes a difference in the classroom and beyond. During our most recent Ofsted inspection (April 2026), Ofsted said, ‘This is an inclusive school. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), disadvantaged pupils and those known, or previously known, to social care, are helped to achieve, belong and thrive.’ Working closely with colleagues, families, external agencies, and governors, you will help ensure support is purposeful, students make strong progress, and staff feel confident meeting a wide range of needs. You will also play a key role in developing teaching practice, coaching colleagues and using evidence to understand what is working well and where we need to do better. This is a role for a leader who can think strategically but is equally comfortable being visible around school and working alongside staff and students. You will have high expectations, a clear sense of moral purpose and the confidence to challenge when needed, while recognising that lasting improvement comes from working together. In return, all staff members receive free access to our SAS Wellbeing support package, protected weekly CPD and leadership time, supportive line management practices and opportunities for further professional development through the East Midlands Education Trust Teacher Training Partnership.

WoofWalk - WN1 1YN
£15 to £20 an hour
Field-basedContractPart time
WoofWalk is a booking app for dog owners across the UK. We're opening in Wigan and want up to five self-employed walkers based around the town, including Standish, Orrell, Pemberton and Ince, and around Mesnes Park and Haigh Woodland Park. This is not a job with a wage, and there are no guaranteed bookings. You run your own small walking business through the app: you choose your prices, days and patch, owners book and pay through the app, and the money goes to your bank. Walkers on WoofWalk choose their own prices. Across about 200 listings in October 2026, an hour's solo walk is typically listed at £12 to £28, with £18 the middle price. These are other walkers' prices, not a wage. Terms, plainly: joining is free. You pay no commission for your first 14 days, then 15% of each booking, which falls to 10% once five of your own clients join. Any client you bring yourself pays the lower rate from their first booking. Your own tax, National Insurance and insurance are your responsibility. We'll help you set up: send us your area, days and price and we'll draft your profile for you to check. Already walking dogs? Bring your clients and run bookings, payments and GPS-tracked walks in one app. You need to be over 18, comfortable walking in all weathers, and willing to meet each owner and dog first. Apply through Find a Job and let us know which part of Wigan you can cover.
