We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Science Teacher to join a highly regarded specialist school in Alton from January on a part-time maternity cover basis. This is an exciting opportunity to work within an established and supportive setting that is committed to delivering exceptional education for primary-aged pupils with Special Educational Needs.

The school caters for children with a range of additional needs, primarily physical disabilities, and is recognised for its inclusive ethos, outstanding pastoral support and child-centred approach.

• Differentiate learning to meet a range of SEN needs.
• Assess, monitor and support pupil progress.
• Work collaboratively with teaching assistants, therapists and families.

• Demonstrates excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Brings creativity, flexibility and enthusiasm to the classroom.
