General SEND Secondary Teacher in Stockton-on-Tees

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 lots of ups and downs, and for some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We are looking for flexible teachers excited about the opportunity to teach across the curriculum. Key Stage 3 pupils learn within classroom bases, led by the same consistent teacher, whilst Key Stage 4 staff mostly deliver specialist teaching of core subjects and options. You'll need to be resilient, dedicated, and committed to helping our pupils succeed, celebrating every achievement along the way supported by a dynamic leadership, pastoral and clinical teams.
