We wish to appoint a Teacher with an outstanding track record who is ambitious and is ready for an exciting new challenge.
The Grove is a brand new Special School for autism opened in September 2018, providing 104 places for children between the ages of 5 and 19 on the autistic spectrum.

The post holder will be responsible for leading a class team ensuring there are high quality and effective learning opportunities for all students. Class sizes are small and our experienced teams offer support with a collaborative approach to teaching. The post holder will also be expected to work closely with our multi-disciplinary teams.
