Join a friendly, caring team of specialist staff and student support assistants in a department that prides itself on collaboration, inclusion and exceptional student support. Working from a purpose-built area with specialist facilities, including a life-skills kitchen and interactive classrooms, the team supports a wide range of learners with SEND needs. We require a part-time teacher on a 0.5 FTE.
