Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

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 lots of ups and downs, and for some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories; while 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 all the support you need to succeed, including access to in-house psychologists, teaching assistants, and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be experts in their fields, 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

Pontville School is an independent specialist day & residential school providing high-quality education. With a record of outstanding and good Ofsted results, the school based in Ormskirk is regarded as a leading choice for speech, language, and social communication in the UK.

What we do for you

We recognize your potential to do great things. For your hard work and commitment, we offer the best salary and benefits package in the education sector. With us, you’ll bring learning to life and make a genuine difference in our young people's lives, plus you’ll receive:

• Training: A full induction and on-the-job training
• Holiday: Full school holidays as a reward for your hard work
• Progression: Most of our head teachers and leaders have been promoted from within
• Flexible benefits: Options to customize benefits like life insurance
• Pension: Various pension schemes, including Teachers’ Pension and attractive alternatives
• Wellbeing: Wellbeing tools and employee assistance programs
• Medical cover: Coverage for opticians, dentists, and more, plus high-street discounts
• Beautiful working environments: Modern facilities in our schools
• A 'recommend a friend' scheme: £1,000 bonus for successful referrals

Bring your whole-self to work

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

• Your ‘can do’ attitude and teamwork
• Your passion for primary education and its impact
• Your ability to relate your subject to each pupil
• Your enthusiasm and expertise to develop your department

Previous teaching experience and Qualified Teacher Status are required.
