Class Teacher job summary

An exciting opportunity for a dedicated teacher to be part of creating a new special school.

The Eden Academy Trust are looking to appoint a Class Teacher for Grand Union Village School.

An understanding of early childhood development and/or experience of teaching in an Early Years setting are desirable. Experience of teaching pupils with additional needs is not essential; being creative, flexible and open to learning is.

Grand Union Village

An 80-place primary school for children 4 - 11 years with severe learning difficulties, physical and complex needs, including autism. Based on Ballinger Way, Hayes, Northolt. UB5 6GG.

The school is designed to accommodate the latest developments in child-centred learning and therapy provision for children including a hydrotherapy pool, sensory provision and purpose-built therapy rooms, which will provide additional learning and sensory opportunities for our pupils.

A bespoke induction programme for new teachers to the Trust will be offered. This includes comprehensive training for those embarking on a new career and a wide range of professional development opportunities for experienced teachers. You also will have an opportunity to work collaboratively throughout the Eden Academy Trust and alongside our multi-professional team.

If you would like to discuss this post further please contact melissa.barrowcliffe@theedenacademy.co.uk (Head of School Designate) or telephone 01895 676401. Visits to the school are encouraged.

All applications must be made online through My New Term.

Applicants will be shortlisted and interviewed as applications are made.

The Eden Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to a DBS check.

The Eden Academy Trust may, from time to time, require an employee to be relocated temporarily or permanently to one of its other schools. Any proposal to relocate will be carried out with due consultation and reasonable notice.

Diversity

At Eden Academy Trust, we value and actively embrace diversity. We believe that a diverse school community strengthens learning, enriches experiences, and helps every child thrive.

We understand the role of inclusive education in preparing young people for a complex and diverse society. We challenge discrimination, recognise and celebrate difference, and work continuously to promote equity and opportunity in everything we do.

Our commitment to inclusion runs through our curriculum, our staffing and leadership, our policies, and our day-to-day interactions. We strive to practise cultural humility, anti-racism, and equitable approaches that meet the needs of all our pupils.
