Due to our growing school, we are looking to fill the role of SEN Teacher in our brand-new purpose-built school in Offerton.

Lisburne School is a Special Primary School for pupils with severe and complex needs aged 4 to 11 years. The school has received an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted (June 2023) and is forward thinking, dynamic and supportive.
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant’s appointment will be subject to satisfactory references, online checks and clearances by the DBS.
This post is to join the Teaching team within the school educating pupils with additional learning needs. Above all, you must be child-centred in your approach and have the commitment, motivation and ability to work with children who may not relate well to conventional teaching methods and to find connections to engage the harder to reach children.
There is a strong emphasis on quality education along with the nurture and care of our children with a significant focus on their emotional and mental health and wellbeing.
Staff work tirelessly as a team to create a safe, inclusive and fun environment where children can receive the support they need to help them overcome personal barriers and obstacles and to make progress with their learning.

The class teacher will be required to have an understanding of strategies and skills that can be utilised to ensure the curriculum is accessible to all.
All teachers work as part of a multi-disciplinary team. The post requires applicants to be able to demonstrate initiative, a desire to become involved in professional development to ensure high quality of provision, a willingness to be flexible and adapt calmly to ever changing situations. Knowledge of de-escalation strategies and Team Teach, whilst not essential, would be desirable.

We are now proud to be part of the Four Rivers Family of Schools which offer the following:

A supportive and comprehensive network in a leadership role
A protected and committed approach to CPD for all members of the Four Rivers Team
The resources, including people and places to help get the job done well
A wellbeing philosophy for our team that recognises we are human first
