Job overview
Your Role
The role in a nutshell
As a teacher within the Trust, you will have the opportunity to reach out and be a mentor and a role model for children who need the guidance and support that your qualifications and experience will bring to the role.
Classrooms and teachers are learning how to collaborate with our children to secure the very best outcomes they deserve by creating beautiful and important work that they can share with peers and their families.
Suppose nothing makes you happier and more fulfilled than seeing children discover their passion, and experience success in learning, or come to understand the importance of perseverance. You will bring a deep love of learning and pass that knowledge and passion onto our children every day.
Children with additional needs deserve to be treated the same as all other groups of children. They deserve to have the same opportunities and learn the things that their mainstream peers learn. Our specialist school is seeking a qualified teacher who cares about unique children, is keen to see them doing well, but who will push their limits to succeed.
The candidate
The ideal candidate will be:
Passionate about complex children and committed to meeting their personal needs.
Committed to school improvement and raising levels of pupil achievement
A reflective practitioner, with the ability to plan strategically
Someone who can demonstrate excellent organisational, communication and inter-personal skills with colleagues and parents/carers
Will share and support the academy’s ethos, and have energy and commitment to all aspects of academy life
Focused on high expectations of learning and behaviour
Committed to inclusion, and have a caring and adaptable approach in supporting children of all abilities
A good team player and committed to the wider life of the academy
A suitably qualified teacher, ideally with experience of special educational needs.
You will help children and young people learn and develop the skills and character required to foster confidence, curiosity, creativity and empathy. We believe they will progress with the spirit and character necessary to embrace life’s challenges.
We welcome applications from everyone who believes they meet the expectations of the role regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, or disability. To ensure that our composition of our colleagues is representative of the communities we serve, applications from groups who are currently under-represented in education including people with disabilities and people from minority ethnic backgrounds are particularly encouraged.

At Westbury Academy our motto is ‘No child left behind.’ We strive to deliver a high-quality curriculum which is based upon the needs of our pupils focusing on maximising each child’s academic potential whilst developing their social and emotional skills.
Our intent is to Prepare every child for Adulthood by developing the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to live with Independence and purpose.
We recognise that many of our pupils have experienced disrupted learning. Therefore, we provide pupils with a curriculum that reconnects them with success.
Through a combination of academic achievement, personal development, and real-life learning experiences, we support pupils to become:
- Ready to learn, contribute and take on future challenges
- Respectful of others, and able to communicate effectively in different settings
- Responsible for their learning, actions, and future
These ‘Three Rs’ (golden rules) are embedded as our golden rules and underpin everything we do.
Our curriculum is shaped by the Trust-wide values; building Confidence, providing Challenge, and promoting Curiosity, Character and Creativity.
We prioritise the development of creative and critical thinking, collaboration, self-awareness, and technological literacy- knowledge, skills and understanding that are increasingly valued by employers and essential in an ever-evolving society (WEF, 2025).
We recognise the importance of access to experiences and opportunities that pupils may otherwise miss. Learning is contextualised to pupils’ local communities and the wider world, building cultural capital, confidence, and Independence needed for life beyond school.
