The Vibe
Are you tired of the "exam factory" grind? Do you want to actually teach instead of just managing a crowd of 30?
We have opening a brand-new SEND Secondary School this September (2025), and we're looking for a History & Geography specialist to help us build something special from the ground up. This isn't your standard school-we support incredible young people (ages 11-16) with Autism and unique sensory needs who need a teacher who "gets" them.
Why You'll Love It Here
* Small Squads: Tiny class sizes mean you actually get to know your students.
* Total Support: You'll have high levels of classroom help and a full therapy team backing you up.
* Creativity is King: We follow the National Curriculum, but you have the freedom to make it personal, quirky, and relevant to our students' passions.
* The "New School" Energy: You get to be a founding member of the team. No "we've always done it this way" vibes here-you help set the tone.
What You'll Be Doing
* Bringing the Past & the World to Life: Teaching History and Geography in a way that clicks for students with social communication and sensory needs.
* Building Connections: Working in a non-confrontational, chill way to help students regulate their emotions and feel safe.
* Teamwork: Collabbing with therapists and support staff to make sure every student has a bespoke plan for success.
* Staying Fresh: Keeping up to date with the best ways to support neurodivergent learners.
Are You The One?
We're looking for someone high-energy, empathetic, and patient. Whether you're an experienced SEND pro or a mainstream teacher looking for a more meaningful "Why," we want to hear from you.
The Essentials: You need to be a Qualified Teacher (QTS/QTLS) to grab that £5k bonus, and you must be down to "muck in" and help out as we grow this new community.
The Perks
* £5,000 Welcome Bonus (paid to qualified teachers).
* Finish at 4:00 PM every Friday (hello, weekend!).
* Modern environment: Work in a brand-new setting designed for the 21st century.
