* Mainstream teachers gain the chance to teach smaller groups with more creativity and flexibility
* Supportive SLT who understand workload and wellbeing
* Training in areas like autism, communication needs, sensory support, and trauma-informed practice
What the school is hoping to find
* Someone warm, adaptable, and curious
* A teacher who loves celebrating the small wins as much as the big ones
