Job summary:

Our client is a specialist school and with an Ofsted rating of Good with Outstanding features. The school is set in a beautiful semi-rural location with four acres of well-maintained grounds. They are a day school specialising in the education and care of children and young people between the age of 4 and 19 years, with a healthy referral stream that proudly and successfully delivers values-led education. They are known for their career progression routes and attract professionals who are willing to contribute to their sustained success whilst embracing the family-ethos. There is very much a drive to take the school to the next level after a significant refurbishment during summer 2023 and with another phase to be confirmed. 

The students have a diagnosis of ASD & SLD; and require patient staff willing to use specific techniques such as PECS (and Makaton) and apply TEACCH principles. Working at the school may particularly suit people experienced in working in the mainstream primary sector, as the school largely follows this model across all cohorts. You will have the opportunity to work in an enthusiastic and supportive phase which challenges students to be as independent as possible in their learning and their communication. The successful candidate will have a passion for the teaching some of the most vulnerable students in society and a real will to make a difference to their lives (and that of their families).

The benefits include:

  • Exclusive access to reward and discount scheme
  • Blue Light Discounts
  • Comprehensive induction
  • Commitment to your ongoing training and career progression
  • Teacher pension scheme
  • Paid for enhanced DBS
  • Wellbeing support
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Teacher's pay scale + SEN allowance
