Are you committed to putting the young person first in a child-centred curriculum model?
The Westminster School is looking to recruit exceptional candidates to its highly-skilled team.
We would expect the successful candidate to start in post by September 2023 at the latest. There may be scope for this to become a permanent role as the school continues to grow.
We also welcome applications from ECTs and Trainee Teachers for a 12-month contract.

The successful candidate will be passionate about inclusion and improving outcomes for students with special educational needs and share our commitment to ensuring that all of our young people are fully prepared and supported for life beyond education. This is an excellent opportunity to join our flourishing, supportive and highly-skilled staff team.
Our school caters for 238 pupils aged 7 -19 years with a wide range of special educational needs including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Global Development Delay and Moderate to Severe Learning Disabilities.
The School offers a comprehensive CPD programme and has been awarded the Investors in People Platinum Award. School occupies state-of-the-art facilities on a £42million Rowley Learning Campus.
Our school is led by a dedicated Head Teacher and senior leadership team who are supported by a committed Governing Board and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop within an exciting and creative curriculum and be part of a highly motivated team, which prides itself on its collaborative working practices, and are transforming the lives of our young people.
