Are you passionate about inclusive education and dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of children with special educational needs?
Holly Meadows School is excited to offer an opportunity for a skilled and compassionate teacher to join our new Specialist Hub of Inclusive Practice (SHIP) for children in EYFS and Key Stage 1.
SHIPs provide outstanding, evidence-based provision for children with a range of co-occurring needs. We believe every child deserves to thrive, and our specialist hub is designed to create tailored, nurturing environments where pupils can flourish both in their learning and personal development.

- Maintain a strong safeguarding culture within the SHIP.
- Contribute to the ongoing development of outstanding provision for children with SEND.
What we’re looking for:
- A qualified teacher (QTS) with experience of successfully teaching and supporting children with SEND.
- A reflective practitioner with a strong knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice (2015) and commitment to trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches.
- Someone with excellent interpersonal skills who can work confidently with families, multi-agency professionals, and the wider hub network.
- A teacher with creativity, resilience, and a belief in the potential of every child.
Why join us?
At Holly Meadows, we are proud to be part of a county-wide network of Specialist Hubs of Inclusive Practice. Our inclusive ethos runs through everything we do — we believe in belonging, inclusion, and ambition for all. This is a chance to be part of a provision that is genuinely transformative for children and families.
You will also benefit from:
- A supportive and collaborative school community
- Opportunities for professional development within SEND practice
- The chance to make a measurable impact on children’s lives every single day
- Working on an amazing school site in a new purpose-built environment
- The opportunity to be involved in curriculum and environment design for our youngest pupils.
