General SEND Teacher in Windsor

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’s lots of ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. You’ll be working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs.

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.
