Job overview
We are looking to recruit a teacher 2 days a week (0.4) that possesses a passion for the subject of Science. The science department is a friendly team which consists of 3 teachers and one science technician with great facilities.
Northease Manor is an independent school for children with a variety of specific learning difficulties who have struggled in mainstream schools. Situated just south of Lewes in East Sussex, the school’s centrepiece is a 17th century manor house set in 12 acres of grounds, surrounded by the rolling countryside of the South Downs. This gives the school a spectacular campus along with plenty of room for sports and outdoor activities. The coast is just four miles away.
We are a registered charity and most of the pupils are funded by their local education authorities, although a small and growing number of parents pay the fees themselves. The school is growing and numbers of pupils are expanding so this is an exciting time to join the team.
Staff wellbeing is a top priority at Northease Manor and we offer a comprehensive wellbeing package including an Employee Assist programme, Eyecare plan and a free lunch every day.
More details about the school and about this post can be found on the school’s website www.northease.co.uk but if you have energy, enthusiasm and a burning passion to make a difference, and if you are inspired by the School’s nurturing, holistic, accepting approach, this could be the perfect job for you.
Northease Manor is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to obtain an enhanced DBS disclosure.
Due to the need to appoint quickly, an early application is advised. We reserve the right to appoint at any part of the recruitment process.

Northease Manor School is an independent specialist school and charity approved by the DfE as a co-educational day school for students primarily with Autism and / or Dyslexia or those who present with these type of difficulties. Alongside these, our young people have other co-occurring difficulties including ADHD, Dsycalculia, Tourettes and sensory processing differences. The majority of our learners are working at or have the potential to work at age related expectations (or just below) across a range of subjects, follow a differentiated National Curriculum and access GCSE or equivalent qualifications.
We are known and respected for providing high quality, holistic teaching, therapy and pastoral support. We promote and recognise that each student is an individual with unique needs, acknowledging that a diagnosis will only provide part of the picture. Our integrated approach to therapy and small teaching classes, coupled with the small and close community we have here at Northease, enables us to build excellent relationships and understand students as a whole. We use that knowledge and understanding to ensure the best outcomes for each student. Our aim is to provide the best of what a mainstream setting can offer in terms of a broad and balanced curriculum and excellent educational outcomes within a calm and low arousal environment and with an additional focus of developing essential life skills. The majority of our students have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and their placement is funded through their local authority.
Our location, a spacious 12 acre country site built round an 18th century manor house, gives everyone room to grow and develop in a school with a true community and family feel. We are an easy commute from Brighton, Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne.
We are a part of the Independent Schools Association and inspected by ISI. Our last inspection determined that we meet 100% of the ISI standards.
One parent summed up the sentiment of many by writing simply: ‘The school changed my child’s life and gave us hope… Very effective use of training, including working in close partnership with the therapy team.’
