Job description

Up to £65,283 + 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 for 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 be there to help them learn, develop their abilities and raise their self‑esteem. 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

Having joined Witherslack Group in 2022, Greenholm School is an independent, specialist day school providing high quality education based in South West London. The school meets the needs of pupils with autism and additional needs such as ADHD, speech and language difficulties, sensory issues and associated behavioural difficulties – and was recently rated Good by Ofsted.

What we do for you

We know you're going to do great things. For your hard work and commitment, we reward you with the best salary and benefits package in the education sector. With us, you'll bring learning to life and make a genuine difference to the lives of our young people – plus you'll get:

• Training: A full induction and on‑the‑job training

• Holiday: You'll work hard at WG, so you’ll be rewarded with full school holidays

• Progression: If career development is your thing, most of our head teachers and leaders have been promoted from within our group

• Flexible benefits: meaning you can increase/decrease benefits such as life insurance – check out our benefits here

• Pension: We offer a range of pensions to suit your lifestyle needs including Teachers' Pension and our very attractive TPS alternative

• Wellbeing: a host of wellbeing tools and advice including employee assistance

• Medical cover so you can claim back the cost of things such as an optician’s or dentist appointment and a host of high‑street discounts

Bring your whole‑self to work

Our young people come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and different needs – and our workforce reflects that diversity, so that our teams can engage, encourage and inspire our young people to be themselves. You'll be more than a Primary Teacher; you'll be able to connect with our pupils because of:

• Having a can‑do attitude – a team player who rolls up their sleeves to help others
• Having a genuine passion for teaching primary‑aged children and the impact your subject can have on young lives
• The ability to relate your subject to each pupil and build great relationships with your class
• Your enthusiasm and expertise to build your department
• You'll also need previous teaching experience and have Qualified Teacher Status
