About the Role

Be the teacher who helps students believe in themselves.

At our specialist school, success is measured by far more than academic results. It's the confidence gained, the barriers overcome, and the life-changing moments that happen every day. As a Class Teacher, you'll have the opportunity to inspire, support, and transform the lives of students with additional needs, helping them achieve things they never thought possible.

If you're looking for a role where your impact is seen, valued and celebrated, we'd love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deliver engaging, creative and personalised lessons that inspire learning.
• Create a positive, nurturing and inclusive classroom environment.
• Adapt teaching approaches to meet individual learning needs.
• Set ambitious targets and celebrate every achievement, big or small.
• Work closely with families, therapists and colleagues to maximise student success.
• Support students to develop confidence, independence and resilience.
• Help students prepare for successful futures both in and beyond education.

Who we are looking for

• Hold QTS or equivalent teaching qualification.
• Be passionate about helping students with additional needs achieve their potential.
• Be creative, adaptable and committed to delivering engaging learning experiences.
• Build positive relationships with students, families and colleagues.
• Have a genuine desire to make a lasting difference to young people's lives.

Experience within SEN, Autism, SEMH or specialist education is welcomed but not essential. Knowledge, experience or qualifications in IT or Music would be an advantage.
