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. While 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 help them learn, develop their abilities, and raise their self-esteem. You will need to be resilient and dedicated, but those huge small victories 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, and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be experts in their fields, the school environments will be well-resourced, and we’ll support you every step of the way to build a rewarding teaching career.
One of the best environments in SEND
Luxborough Court School is a new, purpose-built school registered for 150 pupils aged 5–19 with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Facilities include a large sports hall with changing rooms (the site was formerly a Premier League football club’s training ground), a bespoke 6th form suite, and various smaller spaces for therapeutic intervention and support. The school benefits from extensive outdoor areas, a large courtyard garden, and separate playgrounds with a multi-use games area.
There are good public transport links, with Chigwell Station less than a mile away, providing Central Line services to London and Essex. The M11 motorway (Junction 4) is also nearby.
What we do for you
We believe you’ll do great things. To reward your hard work and commitment, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package. With us, you’ll make a real difference in the lives of our young people, while enjoying benefits such as:
* Training: Full induction and on-the-job training
* Holidays: Full school holidays off
* Progression: Most of our leaders have been promoted from within
* Flexible benefits: Options to adjust benefits like life insurance (see our benefits here)

Bring your whole-self to work
Our young people come from diverse backgrounds and have different needs. Our workforce reflects this diversity, enabling us to engage, encourage, and inspire our pupils to be themselves. You’ll be more than a PSHE Teacher—you’ll connect with pupils through:
* Your ‘can-do’ attitude and teamwork
* Your passion for PSHE and impacting young lives
* Your ability to relate teaching to each pupil and build strong relationships
Previous teaching experience and Qualified Teacher Status are required.
