• Multi‑site travel: Being comfortable and willing to travel between various sites as required to best support our students in their journey to reintegrate back into mainstream.
• Collaborative practice: Working closely with a range of professionals, including medical staff, therapists, educational psychologists, social workers, and mainstream school staff, to ensure a holistic and coordinated approach to student well‑being and education.
• Innovation: Contributing to our ongoing mission to re‑think our approach to engaging children and teaching at STARS, bringing fresh ideas and innovative methods to the classroom.

Why STARS?

• No day will ever be the same: Experience a dynamic, varied, and challenging environment where your teaching skills will be tested and rewarded daily.
• Real impact: This is a chance to have a profound impact on the life and future of every student you work with, helping them to overcome significant barriers to education.
• Professional growth: An opportunity to develop specialist skills in a highly complex and rewarding area of education, working alongside experienced, dedicated professionals.
• Supportive environment: Join a team that values creativity, collaboration, and a compassionate approach to education.

• A proven track record of adaptable and engaging teaching.
• Excellent organisational, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• A flexible, resilient, and proactive attitude with the ability to manage complexity and travel between sites.
