Teacher (Greenhall Nursery)

Teacher - Greenhall and SEDIS Provision (Start September 2026)

The Creative Learning Partnership Trust are seeking to appoint a full-time teacher to work at Greenhall and across our SEDIS provision (outreach and in-reach).

Greenhall is a Special School for children in the Early Years with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. There are currently 40 children on roll. A child centred approach is at the heart of all that we do and we want all children to excel and "fly" in all aspects of school life. We believe effective relationships that provide high support and high challenge are crucial and knowing our children well is foundational to this.

This is a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate to share responsibility for a class whilst also being a key figure delivering our outreach and in reach work. The role will be shaped in response to the growth of Greenhall & SEDIS.

We are offering the opportunity to work in a school with a committed, welcoming and highly dedicated staff team. We believe in championing our staff to be the best that they can be. Training, support and coaching will be offered to the successful candidate to ensure they are successful in their duties.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and support a classroom of early year students with SEND, ensuring high support and high challenge, while also contributing to the outreach and in reach programme.

Lead a team of support staff and inspire, challenge and motivate others across the school and in the community.

Be creative, think outside the box and work with others to find sustainable solutions.

Qualifications and Attributes

• Excellent classroom practitioner with a sound understanding of SEND and inclusion
• Willing to go the extra mile for our children, families and wider community
• Careful about details - knowing whose coat is whose and spotting a missing boot
• High expectations, working alongside the child and family
• Calm, patient and playful when a child is struggling with big feelings - able to sit on the floor, help with a sensory circuit or coach them through

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service, references and medical clearance.

For the right candidate(s), we are open to splitting the role into a class teacher (0.5) and a lead practitioner for SEDIS (support staff) (0.5). If either of these roles interests you, please get in touch.
