Are you a passionate teacher or teaching assistant working in a mainstream setting? Have you ever considered how your skills could transform lives in a special school environment?
Now is the perfect time to make the move.
Why Work in a Special School?
1. Make a Deeper Impact In special education, every small step is a big win. You’ll help children with additional needs achieve milestones that truly matter – and witness the difference you make every single day.
2. Use Your Skills in New Ways Special schools value creativity, adaptability, and empathy. You’ll develop professionally and personally, gaining expertise in areas like autism, speech and language, sensory needs, and more.
3. Be Part of a Supportive Team Special schools are known for their strong sense of community. You’ll work closely with therapists, SEN specialists, and dedicated colleagues who share your passion for inclusive education.
4. Excellent Career Development With growing demand for SEND expertise, there are fantastic opportunities for progression, training, and leadership in special education.
5. A Rewarding, Purpose-Driven Role If you’re looking for a role that’s emotionally fulfilling and truly meaningful, special education offers a career with heart.
Who We’re Looking For
- Qualified Teachers (QTS/QTLS) or experienced Teaching Assistants
