Are you an enthusiastic, creative Teacher looking for a unique and rewarding role? Do you have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a passion for working with young people? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

Our client is looking for a dedicated and adaptable Teacher to join their therapeutic education team, where animals, nature, and outdoor learning play a key role in helping children and young people engage with education. You don't need prior experience in secondary education, what matters is a confident, innovative approach to cross-curricular teaching!
