Supporting post-16 students in developing life skills, independence, and confidence. Helping students develop communication strategies and manage behaviours in a way that maximises learning.

Collaborating with a skilled team of teachers who share your passion for inclusive education and making a real impact. Who This Role is For A qualified teacher (QTS or equivalent) with experience in SEN settings. Someone who understands that behaviour is communication and can create engaging, structured learning experiences. A teacher who is eager to support post-16 students as they develop functional life skills and prepare for life beyond school.
