Teacher, Special Needs ​/ Learning Disabilities

Do you have a passion for making education accessible and inspiring for every child? Are you ready to create meaningful change for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Emotionally-based School Avoidance (EBSA)? Melksham House School is a brand new school (opened September 2025), looking for compassionate and dynamic teachers to join our dedicated team.

Melksham House is specialist provision that provides education for children and young people from the age of 4-16 years with complex social, emotional and or mental health or medical needs which have prevented them from successfully engaging in or attending school.

As a Teacher at Melksham House School, you’ll play a pivotal role in nurturing the academic, social, and emotional development of children with SEND. Working closely with a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will deliver personalized, engaging lessons that cater to the unique needs of each learner.

We are seeking an empathetic and creative educator with a commitment to ensuring that every child can thrive. If you have experience in EYFS this would be advantageous but not essential. For full role responsibilities and expectations, please see the attached job description and person specification.

Please check the Person Specification for the qualifications that are listed as Essential for this role. You will be required to show these qualifications if you are successful. Unqualified Teachers will be considered.

Note: Applicants will be considered as received. Should a suitable candidate be identified, we may close the vacancy early.

Interviews: w/c 13.07.2026 or as received.

Important Note: Due to the needs of our learners, and as part of our interview process, we will request to see you teach in your current provision where possible. This will be discussed with you if you are successful in being shortlisted.
