This one’s for the calm, the patient, the absolutely unflappable.
If you know your way around an EHCP and can spot a sensory break coming a mile off, we’ve got a school that needs you.

We’re working with a specialist setting in Swindon that’s all about getting it right for every child—especially those who need that extra bit of support, structure, and care.

• QTS or equivalent and a background in SEND education

• A calm, confident teaching style (think anchor in a storm)

• Buckets of empathy, patience, and flexibility
