- innovative, creative and passionate about the development of outstanding provision for learners with additional needs
- is dedicated to raising standards and is able to demonstrate highly effective teaching skills
- can demonstrate the ability to plan an exciting, inspiring curriculum
- recognises parents as vital partners in learning and is committed to building strong relationships.
The successful candidate will also have the following experience and attributes:

- A proven track record of achieving academic excellence.
- Evidence of implementing innovative approaches to learning, particularly in regard to children with ASD.
- Experience of meeting the needs of children and young people who may benefit from specialist provision within a mainstream setting.
- Resilience, energy and optimism.
Do you want to be part of our team, the creation of a brand-new provision and make a real difference to the lives of children in Leeds?
What the school offers its staff
Within GORSE, we are passionate that all children excel, regardless of their background or additional needs. We are therefore incredibly proud to have opened Little London Bridge, a dedicated Resource Provision for children with Autism and/or Complex Communication Needs, which has been supporting pupils successfully since January 2025.
Little London Bridge has joined our established resource provisions, Rainbow Base and Horizons. Together, these provisions cater for over 130 primary and secondary students with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). Little London Bridge benefits from the extensive expertise available across our trust, while continuing to develop its own strong and unique identity within the Little London community.
