The senior leadership team have a clear vision for the growth of the service and are in the process of overseeing a number of ongoing developments.
Cambian Lufton College is situated across a number of sites which include, Lufton Manor, Lufton Manor Farm and community houses which together make up a 30 acre rural campus located on the outskirts of Yeovil, Somerset. The College caters for young people and adults between the ages of 16 - 25 years that have additional learning needs and associated complex behaviours that may challenge. The College prides itself on being able to support all young people, including some that haven’t previously had the opportunity to access a bespoke, meaningful education at a College that prepares them for adulthood in an individualised way. The college offers both 38 and 52 week residential placements, with a holistic approach from our education, care, clinical and support teams to those with additional and complex needs including Autism and Asperger’s. This is a unique opportunity to work collaboratively in a supportive environment with trained, qualified professionals and to join an expanding, successful educational organisation.
Successful candidates for this middle management role will play a key part in a larger supportive holistic team approach that sees care, education and therapeutic services working together to meet the needs of each student.
