Are you an education expert? We are currently seeking to represent an experienced education professional with exceptional skills in teaching pupils with MLD. If you are a SEND specialist teacher or senior leader who is available immediately, we would be keen to speak with you.

This site is part of a national trust who are focussed on supporting children with complex behaviours and needs. Their pupils have experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and they work closely with them to develop self-belief to become effective learners. If you are of a similar mindset and ethos, we would be very happy to discuss the role in more detail.
