Those Huge Small Victories

Our teachers are fulfilled by making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, celebrating the little things. While there are ups and downs, and sitting through a lesson can be a big win for some, we call these "huge small victories" because they make a big difference.

Get out what you put in

You’ll work with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. You’ll help them learn, develop, and build self-esteem. Resilience and dedication are essential, but the rewards of these small victories will make you proud.

It can be challenging, but positive progress makes it worthwhile. As a Teacher at Witherslack Group, you’ll receive support from psychologists, teaching assistants, and therapists. Our colleagues are experts, our environments are well-resourced, and we’ll support your career development.

The school is accessible via Chigwell Station (less than a mile away) with Central Line services, and near the M11 at Junction 4.
