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 many ups and downs, and for some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories and, although they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.

Get out what you put in: You’ll be working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. You’ll be there to 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’re proud of. It can be a tough journey, but the positive steps forward will more than make up for it.

As a Teacher at Witherslack Group, you’ll get all the support you need to succeed, from in-house psychologists to teaching assistants and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be the best at what they do, the school environments will be well-resourced, and we’ll be with you every step of the way, helping you build a rewarding teaching career.

Bring your whole-self to work: Our young people come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and with different needs – and our workforce reflects that diversity, so our teams can engage, encourage and inspire our young people to be themselves. You’ll be more than a PE Teacher; you’ll be able to connect with our pupils because of:

• Your can-do attitude – a team player who rolls up their sleeves to help others
• Your genuine passion for teaching and the impact your subject can have on young lives
