At Springfield Primary School, inclusion is a key aspect of our whole school ethos. Our Enhanced Resource Facility is an integral part of our school, delivering specially tailored provision within a carefully designed learning environment, for children with complex communication and interaction needs.

This is an extremely exciting time to join our ERF team at Springfield; we are currently in the final stages of planning a significant expansion, which will include a brand new custom designed building, including a bespoke sensory room, three new classrooms and new outdoor play area.

We are, therefore, looking to appoint a teacher, who is committed, dedicated, determined and resilient - an individual who is knowledgeable about SEND and skilled at bringing out the best in all our learners so that
they develop their communication and interaction skills, allowing them to successfully access learning and develop positive friendships with their peers.
