About the role
We now have a fantastic opportunity for Class Teachers to join our close-knit team at Wessex Lodge School, part of Acorn Education. As a dynamic and motivated qualified teacher, you already have a passion for making a difference in the lives of pupils. In this role, you will have every opportunity to live up to this ambition, responding to the needs of individuals with autism, learning difficulties and complex needs, helping them flourish and thrive. You will plan and deliver engaging learning on a daily basis, developing exciting and innovative methods that stimulate interest and excitement in the classroom. Working as a Teacher with us is not your average teaching role. At Outcomes First Group you are able to work creatively, making the most of all the extensive resources and expert support we have available. You will observe, monitor and assess our students, making sure their personal development and wellbeing are as important as the academic curriculum.
Requirement: UK QTS or equivalent | Previous experience
Who we are looking for
You will be a passionate teacher and a great communicator, as comfortable talking to pupils with autism, learning difficulties and complex needs as you are with contributing to the school’s vision and direction.
Our schools are unique environments, each with its own special atmosphere and resources. You will enjoy building caring relationships with pupils and liaising with fellow professionals within the school and in their previous educational establishments.
About the setting
Wessex Lodge School currently comprises three sites: Wessex Lodge Primary School (Kilmington), Wessex Lodge Secondary School (Frome), and Newmead Farm (Maiden Bradley). Students are aged 6–18 with individual needs. The THRIVE approach underpins our practitioner-led services and staff, helping to improve life outcomes for every student.
Acorn Education is the UK’s leading independent provider of specialist education. As part of Outcomes First Group, we are leading the sector in delivering new approaches that provide measurable outcomes for those in our care. In 2024, Outcomes First Group was certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’ for the fifth year running.
