Those Huge Small Victories

Our teachers are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. There are ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories and they add up to make a big difference.

Get out what you put in

You will be working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. You will help them learn, develop their abilities and raise their self-esteem. You will need to be resilient and dedicated, but the huge small victories you achieve will be something you can be really proud of.

As a Teacher at Witherslack Group, you’ll receive support to succeed, including access to in-house psychologists, teaching assistants and therapy professionals. You will work with capable colleagues in well-resourced school environments and will receive ongoing support to build a rewarding teaching career.

One of the best environments in SEND

Cumberland School aims to achieve for its pupils. The school focuses on development and growth, outstanding teaching, therapeutic support and vocational options. The launch of the new Key Stage 4 vocational centre and its partnership with the Cruyff Foundation to launch one of the country’s first special Cruyff Courts illustrate the school’s no-limits approach. This was recognised with a Good Ofsted rating.

Bring your whole-self to work

• Your can-do attitude and teamwork

• Your ability to relate the subject to each pupil and build strong relationships
• Your enthusiasm and expertise to build your department
