Those Huge Small Victories
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 are lots of ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories, and whilst they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.
Get out what you put in
You’ll be working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. You’ll be there to help them learn, develop their abilities, and raise their self-esteem. You will need to be resilient and dedicated, but those huge small victories that you achieve will be something you’re really proud of.
It can be a tough journey, but the positive steps forward will more than make up for it. As a Teacher at Witherslack Group, you’ll get all the support you need to succeed, from in-house psychologists, teaching assistants, to therapy professionals. 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.
One of the best environments in SEND
Opening in Spring 2026, Felden Hall School is a purpose-built, brand new, state-of-the-art school for up to 115 pupils. The school provides education for pupils aged 5-16 and caters to children with needs including autism and social, emotional, and mental health needs. This new exciting opportunity serves Hemel Hempstead and the wider communities, with a focus on individual pupil progress and care, aiming to ensure every pupil has an outstanding educational experience.
