Our young people may have experienced inconsistency and disruption in their lives. We are therefore looking for someone who is committed, dependable and motivated to build a long-term career within a therapeutically based organisation and leading alternative education provider.

No two days will be the same. Working within our trauma-informed practice model, you will help provide flexible, therapeutic educational frameworks tailored to each child or young person.

You will champion inclusive practice across the school, support colleagues to meet individual needs and help secure the best possible outcomes for our learners. Our schools have achieved the Attachment and Trauma Sensitive School Award, reflecting our commitment to therapeutic practice.
