Class Teacher – Focus on Science (Part Time, 3 Days per Week)
Woodfield Education Centre @ Carrington (WEC@C)
The Headteacher and Governing Body are seeking to appoint a committed, enthusiastic and inspirational Class Teacher, with a focus on Primary Science, to join our team at Woodfield Education Centre @ Carrington (WEC@C).
WEC@C is staffed and managed by Woodfield School and provides specialist education for pupils aged 11–16 with identified learning and additional needs, including moderate learning difficulties and co-occurring needs. Pupils are supported in a structured, nurturing environment where safety, trust and positive relationships are central to learning.
This is a part-time role (3 days per week, term time), based at WEC@C, and is ideal for a teacher who is passionate about inclusive education and adapting learning to meet individual needs.
About the role
The successful candidate will be responsible for planning and delivering a primarily Science-based curriculum, tailored to meet the needs of pupils working at a primary level.

There may also be opportunities to deliver other subjects where appropriate.

- Is committed to breaking down barriers to learning and making learning meaningful and enjoyable
- Is passionate about inclusion and the life chances of pupils with learning and additional needs
- Works well as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to holistic pupil support
- Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills when working with pupils, families, colleagues and external professionals
What we can offer:
- A supportive, collaborative and welcoming team
- A trauma-informed, pupil-centred approach
- Opportunities for professional development
- A varied and rewarding role within a specialist setting
Salary: Main Pay Scale to Upper Pay Scale (M1–UPS3), Fringe Area rates, plus SEN allowance (£2,787 – £5,497 FTE).
