The school offers stability needed to gain an emotional balance and wellbeing support to allow students to develop their self-esteem and a positive attitude to lifelong learning. Alongside the core teaching and support staff are a team of therapist and outreach workers providing the students with a rounded support programme.
The school is based in Wembley and benefits from being part of a larger charity focussed on improving the mental health and well-being of children.
There is an established leadership in place at the school who hold consistently high standards for their staff and there are good opportunities for professional development and career progression within the school.
If you have previous experience support young people with SEMH and behavioural needs and would like the opportunity to work in a supportive and progressive school, please apply immediately with an up to date CV outlining your experience.
