Those Huge Small Victories

Our teachers are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. There are many ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories, and whilst they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.

Get out what you put in

You’ll be working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. You’ll help them learn, develop their abilities, and raise their self-esteem. Resilience and dedication are essential, but the huge small victories you achieve will be something to be proud of.

It can be a tough journey, but the positive steps forward will more than make up for it. As a Teacher at Witherslack Group, you’ll receive full support from in-house psychologists, teaching assistants, and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be experts, the school environments will be well-resourced, and we’ll support you every step of the way to build a rewarding teaching career.

One of the best environments in SEND

Opening in April 2025, Cheshire Hall School is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art school. It provides education for up to 120 pupils aged 5-19, with needs including autism and social, emotional, and mental health needs. This exciting opportunity serves Sandbach and the wider community, with a focus on individual progress and care to ensure an outstanding educational experience for every pupil.

What we do for you

We recognize your potential and reward your hard work with competitive salary and benefits. You’ll bring learning to life and make a genuine difference, plus:

• Training: Full induction and on-the-job training
• Holiday: Full school holidays to rest and recharge
• Progression: Many of our leaders have been promoted from within
• Flexible benefits: Increase or decrease benefits like life insurance (see our benefits here)
• Pension: Various pension options, including Teachers’ Pension and attractive TPS alternatives

• Medical cover: Reimbursements for opticians, dentists, and discounts
• Facilities: Beautiful working environments with excellent facilities (see our schools here)
• Referral scheme: Earn a £1,000 bonus for each friend you refer

Bring your whole-self to work

Our pupils come from diverse backgrounds and have different needs. Our workforce reflects that diversity, enabling us to engage, encourage, and inspire them to be themselves. You’ll be more than a Primary Teacher—you’ll connect with pupils through:

• Your ‘can do’ attitude and teamwork
• Your passion for Humanities and its impact on young lives
• Your ability to relate your subject to each pupil and build strong relationships
• Your enthusiasm and expertise to develop your department
• Previous teaching experience and Qualified Teacher Status
