About You
Essential requirements:
- Qualified Teacher Status recognised in the UK and successful teaching experience.

We recognise that recruiting teachers with the right specialist qualifications and experience can be challenging. We will therefore seriously consider strong applicants who do not yet hold the specialist qualification, provided they are committed to completing the postgraduate Mandatory Qualification for Teachers of Children and Young People with Multi-Sensory Impairment (QMSI).
