We are looking for a wonderful teacher to provide maternity cover to our Key Stage 3 group. This class consists of seven pupils with diverse needs, including Autism and Moderate Learning Difficulties. You will be supported by at least two teaching assistants to help you deliver engaging and effective lessons tailored to these students.

Independent living skills are an essential part of personal development, ensuring pupils feel confident in their communities and enhance self-esteem.
