Teacher

Up to GBP 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 are many 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 while 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 (ASD), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. You'll help them learn, develop their abilities, and raise their self-esteem. You need to be resilient and dedicated, but those huge small victories 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 receive all the support you need to succeed, including in-house psychologists, teaching assistants, and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be experts in their fields, the school environments will be well-resourced, and we'll support you every step of the way to build a rewarding teaching career.

One of the best environments in SEND

The greatest achievements often don't come easily, but Hall Cliffe has earned a reputation as a school that can help turn young people's lives around. The school is housed in a stunning listed building, featuring a tranquil courtyard used for recreational and therapeutic activities. The core focus at Hall Cliffe is the pupils, reflected in the unwavering commitment and support from our staff. The school supports young people with ADHD, ASD, Asperger's, or SEMH needs.
