Job Description:

Up to £51,763 + Excellent benefits

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 to 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

You’ll be joining Ashbrooke School, one of the leading SEN settings in the North East. A purpose-built school with specialist classrooms, extensive grounds and sporting facilities, plus a new purpose-built primary provision – Ashbrooke supports young people with ADHD, ASD, SEMH, and SLCN, and was recently rated Outstanding by Ofsted.

• 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

Bring your whole-self to work

Our young people come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds, and with 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 Science Teacher; you’ll be able to connect with our pupils because of:

• Your ‘can do’ attitude – a team player who rolls up their sleeves to help others
• Your genuine passion for Science 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
• Previous teaching experience and Qualified Teacher Status
