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 many 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 will be something you’re really proud of.
It can be a tough journey, but the positive steps forward more than compensate. 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 support you every step of the way, helping you build a rewarding teaching career.
