About the Role

Are you a creative, compassionate and dedicated teacher who believes every young person deserves the opportunity to achieve their potential, regardless of the challenges they face?

At Baston House School, we're looking for an enthusiastic and resilient Primary Teacher / Complex Needs Teacher to join our specialist education team and make a meaningful difference to students with a range of learning difficulties and complex needs.

This is more than delivering lessons. It's about discovering what makes each student thrive, building their confidence and helping them achieve things they may never have thought possible.

You'll have the opportunity to bring creativity and flexibility into your teaching, developing engaging, personalised learning experiences that reflect each student's individual strengths, interests and needs.

Whether you're helping a student develop their communication skills, overcome a barrier to learning, achieve an academic milestone or take an important step towards greater independence, you'll be making a difference that extends far beyond the classroom.

Working collaboratively with teachers, support staff, clinical professionals and senior leaders, you'll help create a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where students feel understood, valued and encouraged to succeed.

You'll also have opportunities to contribute to wider learning programmes, including enrichment, life skills and Preparation for Adulthood, working flexibly across Baston House School and Woodside Post 16 Hub where required.

If you're looking for a rewarding teaching opportunity where your creativity, expertise and commitment can genuinely change lives, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Bring learning to life, planning and delivering creative, engaging lessons for individual students and small groups, adapting your teaching to meet a wide range of learning and complex needs.
• Make every achievement count, assessing progress, celebrating individual successes and tailoring learning programmes to support personalised targets and EHCP outcomes.
• Build confidence and independence, helping students develop communication, social skills, emotional regulation and greater responsibility for their learning.
• Prepare students for brighter futures, supporting practical life skills, enrichment, community participation and Preparation for Adulthood opportunities, including employability and independent living skills.
• Create an inspiring learning environment, developing accessible resources and meaningful activities that encourage curiosity, engagement and achievement.
• Support positive behaviour and wellbeing, using calm, consistent and personalised approaches to help students manage challenges and develop self-regulation.
• Work collaboratively with specialist colleagues, coordinating learning activities and working closely with support staff, clinical professionals, families and external agencies to provide consistent, individualised support.
• Champion safeguarding and inclusion, maintaining a safe and nurturing environment, supporting educational visits and community-based learning, and providing personal care where required.

What we are looking for

We're looking for a teacher who combines strong teaching skills with patience, creativity and a genuine passion for helping young people with additional needs succeed.

You’ll bring:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) - essential.
• Previous teaching experience, including planning, delivering and assessing lessons across curriculum subjects.
• Experience working within an educational setting, with the ability to adapt teaching to meet individual learning needs.
• A creative, flexible and engaging approach to teaching, with the confidence to deliver personalised learning experiences.
• The ability to support students with complex and challenging behaviour while remaining calm, patient and resilient.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with students, families, colleagues and external professionals.
• The confidence to work independently, lead learning activities and collaborate effectively with senior leaders, the SENCo and multidisciplinary teams.
• Good organisational and IT skills, including the ability to maintain accurate records and monitor student progress.
• A strong understanding of safeguarding and child protection, alongside a commitment to professional development and inclusive education.
