Up to £62,771 + excellent benefits
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's 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 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 receive all the support you need to succeed, including 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 purpose-built school registered for 150 pupils aged 5 - 19 with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Facilities include a large sports hall with changing facilities (the site was formerly a Premier League football club's training ground), a bespoke 6th form suite, and various spaces used for therapeutic intervention and bespoke support. The school benefits from extensive outdoor space, a large central courtyard garden, and separate secondary and junior playgrounds with a multi-use games area.
The school is accessible via public transport, with Chigwell Station less than a mile away, providing Central Line services to London and Essex. It is also conveniently located near the M11, Junction 4.
