  • Maximum of 8 students in the class (currently just 5)

The Students

  • Require high levels of nurture, structure and consistency
  • \n
  • Thrive with strong routines, trauma-informed practice and calm leadership

What We’re Looking For

\n
    \n
  • A teacher with excellent behaviour management
  • \n
  • Someone calm, patient and emotionally intelligent
  • \n
  • Confident delivering multiple subjects at a differentiated level
  • \n
  • Experience with SEND, SEMH or nurture provision is highly desirable

Why Apply?

\n
    \n
  • Very small class sizes
  • \n
  • Strong pastoral focus with real impact
  • \n
  • Consistent TA support
  • \n
  • Opportunity to build meaningful relationships and see progress daily
  • \n
  • Perfect for teachers wanting to step away from high-pressure mainstream classrooms

If you’re ready for a role where relationships matter as much as results, this could be the perfect next step.
