Job overview

Marshfields School is a 191-place special provision for students with Learning Difficulties. We are expanding the school and therefore need to expand our staffing structure to ensure that it is closely tailored to meet the needs of the students that now need a place at Marshfields School.

The purpose of the post is to complement and support the learning and wider needs of all students to ensure their outcomes at school are in line with expectations.

A positive and enthusiastic attitude, motivated to inspire students.
A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
This is an exciting time to be part of the Marshfields community.
