We are seeking a strategic, resilient, and highly skilled SEN Teacher who wants to strip away the mainstream noise and get back to what actually matters: high-impact teaching and measurable student progress.

• Restorative Practice: Utilise sophisticated, relational, and restorative behavioural strategies to re-engage students who have disconnected from mainstream education.

• Multidisciplinary
