Those Huge Small Victories
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 for some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories. While 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 need to be resilient and dedicated, but those huge small victories will make you proud.
It can be a tough journey, but the positive steps forward will more than make up for it. As a Teacher at Witherslack Group, you’ll receive all the support you need to succeed, from in-house psychologists to teaching assistants and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be experts in their fields, the school will be well-resourced, and we’ll support you every step of the way to build a rewarding teaching career.
One of the best environments in SEND
Luxborough Court School is a new, purpose-built school for 150 pupils aged 5–19 with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Facilities include a large sports hall with changing rooms (the site was formerly a Premier League football club’s training ground), a bespoke 6th form suite, and various spaces for therapeutic intervention and support. The school has extensive outdoor areas, a large courtyard garden, and separate playgrounds for secondary and junior students, with a multi-use games area.
It is conveniently located with good public transport links, including Chigwell Station less than a mile away, offering Central Line services to London and Essex. The M11 motorway is nearby at Junction 4.
