You will be a highly skilled and reflective practitioner, committed to delivering exceptional SEND provision and achieving the best possible outcomes for all pupils.

We welcome applications from both experienced teachers within SEND education settings as well as those from mainstream settings with a passion for Special Educational Needs and a proven track record of supporting pupils with SEND. You will be adaptable and resilient, with an understanding of how to contribute effectively to the existing positive culture and ethos of our welcoming and inclusive school communities. Experience of working with children with additional needs in a primary or Early Years setting is essential.  We offer excellent opportunities for professional development and expect all staff to be committed to continually improving their practice and developing their careers.

You will be committed to the highest standards of achievement for all. You will be a resourceful, inclusive and enthusiastic practitioner with a track record of high-quality teaching and a deep understanding of the strategies and practices associated with excellent pupil outcomes where communication and interaction, particularly Autism Spectrum Conditions are a primary focus.

As a teacher in one of our resource bases, you will work closely with all staff, as well as with our drb Ignite School Improvement Team to deliver an ambitious and bespoke provision, which will successfully meet the needs of the pupils and enable them to achieve the best possible outcomes regardless of their circumstance or background.

Within our Trust you will have:

• Opportunities to share ideas and improve both your own and the school’s practice

• A supportive Leadership Team
• Quality resources and a rich environment, to enable you to develop a personalised approach for every child you teach
• Excellent CPD to support you in your career development

We strongly encourage you to call to arrange an informal visit to the school(s) and meet the team(s).
