Are you ready to make a real difference and be a champion for pupils who need it most?
Greenbank School is a warm, values driven community where our motto, "Learning and Succeeding Together", underpins everything we do. Our most recent Ofsted inspection recognised the school’s exceptional culture, judging Behaviour and Attitudes as Outstanding, noting that "pupils behave exceptionally well", show "kindness and empathy", and that the school’s "happy and supportive ethos shines through". Pupils develop strong, positive relationships with staff and feel a genuine sense of belonging, while adults provide both encouragement and challenge so that learners grow in confidence, resilience and independence. Greenbank is a place where staff and pupils work in partnership, celebrate individuality and achieve success together.
We are looking for the right person for our school community and who can add value to the school. Whether you have experience in mainstream (Primary or Secondary), SEND, or both, what matters most is that you understand how to genuinely connect with and teach young people based on a strong foundation of trust. At Greenbank School, the qualities that will set you apart are a patient, nurturing approach, the ability to build positive relationships with pupils who may find communication and social interaction difficult, a talent for breaking down learning into meaningful, accessible steps and the creativity to adapt your teaching to meet individual need. If you are someone who leads with empathy, finds joy in moments of progress, celebrates every achievement however it comes, and believes wholeheartedly that every young person can grow and flourish with the right support around them, we would love to hear from you.
Greenbank School is a growing school of 133 pupils, aged 11 – 18 years. Pupils present with a range of learning needs, primarily Autism and associated learning and communication needs.
