Role Overview

Are you a Life Changer? Do you want to lean in and transform the life of a child? Compass Community puts children first through our therapeutic, innovative approach. Integrity, Courage and Care shape how we work. We listen deeply, challenge each other and fix what needs fixing, together. CCS Eld Park is a specialist, independent school where children aged 6–17 are met with patience, warmth and a genuine belief in their potential. We provide therapeutic, child‑centred education in a supportive environment that promotes a sense of belonging. The work here is purposeful and guided by each child’s evolving needs, with therapeutic support built into staff development so we can respond thoughtfully and consistently.

The Role

We are all principally teachers of children before teachers of subjects. Central to this role is knowing the child, building professional, nurturing and positive relationships and motivating students. We require a Primary Teacher with the ability/willingness to teach Maths and/or English to GCSE level. No matter the accreditation, which is best for the child to pursue, we maintain high aspirations for our children regardless of their learning journey and don’t underestimate the importance of qualifications to provide our children with life chances and opportunities.
