We are looking for full time or part time Early Years/Primary teacher to work across either our primary or secondary site. This is a permanent position starting in the Easter term. This is an exciting opportunity to join our collaborative and ambitious teaching team on either a full time, part time or temporary contract. We offer a comprehensive and bespoke CPD programme throughout the year and have a good record of upskilling staff at all levels.

As all children have an EHCP and are working significantly below age‑related expectations, the role is more likely to suit those who are trained/experienced within Early Years, Primary or Special settings. ECTs and those with SEN/autism experience are also welcome to apply. We operate an EYFS/Primary model of teaching up to and including Year 13 with some specialist teaching in Y10‑13.

These are opportunities for teachers who actively collaborate in an ambitious team. We are particularly keen to hear from you if you have experience of delivering tailored and personalised learning programmes for children with SEND.

We are seeking to appoint a class teacher who is:

• Passionate about high quality personalised provision for children with autism.
• An excellent teacher with experience or expertise in working with pupils with complex needs in EYFS/Primary/Special Needs.
• Will be an excellent role model, especially encouraging positive relationships with everyone they come into contact with.
• Equipped with strong interpersonal skills.
• A resilient practitioner committed to further development.
• Someone who loves working closely with others to change things for the better.

• Friendly, enthusiastic, delightful pupils and students who teach us something new every day.
• A committed and caring staff team who support and develop each other.
• A proactive and supportive SLT who are actively mindful of workload.
• A collaborative approach to planning and problem‑solving.
• A comprehensive induction and an ongoing extensive CPD programme.
• Opportunities to develop your skills and talents.
• Small class sizes with high staff/pupil ratio.
• Free parking on site.
• Advantages of belonging to a multi‑academy trust, e.g. discounts on gym and wellbeing services, access to free and confidential Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programmes.
