Job description

“Be your best self – and help our pupils do the same”

We are at an exciting point in our school's journey. This is your opportunity to join at a pivotal moment, working alongside our new Assistant Headteacher to shape the future of primary education at Exhall Grange, while benefiting from the expertise and support of our existing dedicated and highly skilled team.

About Exhall Grange

Exhall Grange is a thriving 4-19 maintained specialist school serving 280 pupils with a wide range of complex needs, including Social, Communication and Interaction difficulties (including Autism), Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs, physical difficulties and sensory impairments, and complex medical needs.

We are incredibly proud of our school community. Our pupils are seen and known as individuals, and our experienced, caring staff have the expertise to bring out the best in every child. Our core purpose is simple: we encourage everyone, pupils and staff alike, to 'Be Your Best Self'. We provide a nurturing, inclusive and aspirational environment where challenge and resilience go hand in hand, helping our pupils progress to positive outcomes and destinations. Every pupil is known as an individual. We constantly improve the quality of learning outcomes by refining our high-quality teaching, reviewing our curriculum, and using assessment and targeting consistently and effectively. At Exhall Grange we ensure that all staff at the school are committed to personal and shared development of skills that strengthen and support our strategic purpose and vision.

About the Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic Primary Teacher to join our dedicated Primary team from January 2027, or earlier if available.

What You Will Be Doing

In our primary setting, you will work within one of our two specialist learning pathways, carefully designed to meet the diverse needs of our pupils. These pathways are tailored to pupil need, and you will help our pupils develop the qualities of our school values: Respect, Resilience, Confidence, Motivation, Aspiration and Integrity.

Your role will include teaching small classes (typically 8-12 pupils) with dedicated teaching assistant support, delivering engaging, creative lessons adapted to individual learning styles and needs and using communication strategies to support pupils with communication difficulties. You will work closely with our Assistant Headteacher of Primary and experienced colleagues to develop innovative approaches, collaborating with outside agencies and families. You will plan activities that challenge all pupils and encourage personal growth, contributing to our supportive and nurturing provision.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for candidates with Qualified Teacher Status, a passion for teaching and learning that can be utilised to challenge all pupils, and the ability to motivate, inspire and stimulate curiosity, interest and enjoyment.

What We Offer You

You will receive a comprehensive induction programme tailored to your experience, alongside specialist SEND training including autism strategies, communication approaches and sensory processing. We are committed to personal and shared development of skills, offering regular continuing professional development opportunities. You will have opportunity to develop specialist expertise and contribute to shaping our future direction within a collaborative learning culture with regular team meetings and peer support. Our supportive leadership is committed to staff development and wellbeing.

We offer a comprehensive wellbeing support programme because we understand the demands of teaching and actively support work life balance. You will have access to the VIVUP benefits scheme, an employee benefits and wellbeing platform, as well as regular supervision and support from experienced colleagues and our leadership team. Our collaborative, supportive team culture means you will never feel isolated.

Our excellent onsite benefits include free onsite parking, free use of our swimming pool outside of school hours, free use of our onsite gym, and an onsite café serving hot food cooked and provided by our Post 16 pupils with colleague support. You will also benefit from the Teachers' Pension Scheme and links with other specialist settings for knowledge sharing and networking.

Why Work at Exhall Grange?

This is an exciting new chapter where you can be part of shaping the future of our primary provision. We truly know every child as an individual and invest in our staff's development and wellbeing. We celebrate success at every level, and our pupils make remarkable progress in a nurturing, specialist environment. We work in genuine partnership with families and have excellent onsite facilities that support your wellbeing.
