Brave...Collaborative...Adaptable...Love...Positivity...Future-conscious

Do you have these core traits to be a successful change maker and colleague at Bader Academy?

We are proud and excited to be opening a brand new special academy in September 2020 called Bader, based in Doncaster. You can help create a forward thinking, innovative culture where pupils and staff can truly flourish.

Bader is being developed to meet the needs of children and young people, aged 5-19, who have an Education, Health and Care Plan with a primary diagnosis of Communication and Interaction Difficulties.

Our ambition and yours will be that Bader becomes a centre of excellence for both the specialist provision and for promoting the latest inclusive practices across education. 

Our children at Bader deserve an education that will change their lives and give them the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Staff employed in our academy Trust enjoy a fulfilling career and we focus on releasing your potential and maximising your impact.

Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016 and has the highest ambitions possible for everyone we work with. 

The vision for Nexus is that we are constantly “Learning together; to be the best we can be.” 

This vision is what we aspire to and is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families
