Job description

Overview

Up to GBP53,835 + excellent benefits. 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\'s lots of 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 will need to be resilient and dedicated, but those huge small victories that you achieve will be something you\'re really 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 get all the support you need to succeed, from in-house psychologists, to teaching assistants and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be the best at what they do, the school environments will be well-resourced and we\'ll be with you every step of the way, helping you build a rewarding teaching career.

One of the best environments in SEND

This was recently recognised in our Good Ofsted rating.
