The Opportunity
Brunel Academies Trust are a proud, growing educational community with a vision to be an exceptional creative education family opening doors, opening minds and changing lives. We strive to significantly improve the life chances and outcomes for our children and young people (CYP) whether they are within our SEND provisions or mainstream schools.
Brimble Hill is a high performing primary school for students, aged 2 -11, with severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders. Rated Good by Ofsted in 2022, we are a vibrant and caring community co-located within a learning campus.
We are looking for a teacher with EYFS curriculum experience, but this is not essential. Our pupils are however, in need of a SEND Teacher who has the nurturing passion to encourage self-development in every aspect of our pupils’ educational journey.
You will be part of an exciting phase as we work together to meet the end goal of our Trust: to collaborate and build a successful community of mainstream schools and SEND provisions to ensure our students have the education they deserve.
