What skills and experience we're looking for
Cedars Academy Low Fell, part of Cedars Academy Trust, is delighted to be recruiting a new teacher to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a creative and nurturing school community delivering bespoke, meaningful education to children who learn differently.
The post is to lead in our EYFS and Key Stage 1/2 classes of students with complex cognitive and emotional needs. This role is ideally suited to an experienced SEND or EYFS/Primary Practitioner, with the confidence to plan and deliver an engaging curriculum in a responsive, practical, and sensory-led way.
Cedars is a warm, welcoming school community where staff are encouraged to shape their own professional development, engage with evidence-informed practice, and contribute to our shared journey of improvement. No one is ever the finished article - and that’s how we like it.
If you have the energy, empathy, and creativity to make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.
