About the role
You will teach a small group of childrenwith cognition and learning needs, delivering a personalised and engaging curriculum with a particular focus on English and mathematics.

Is confident in adapting teaching, resources and approaches to meet individual needs.
Is willing to explore and trial new strategies and approaches to support learning.
Is patient, nurturing and ambitious for every child.
Can create a positive, stimulating and inclusive learning environment where children feel safe, valued and successful.
Is reflective and committed to developing their own practice.
Working pattern
This is a three-day contract, structured across five mornings in school:
Five mornings per week: 8.30am – 12.00pm, working directly with the children (teaching begins at 9am)
One afternoon per week: Working from home, providing dedicated time for planning, preparation, assessment and reviewing children's progress.
This arrangement offers consistency for the children alongside dedicated planning and preparation time.
What we can offer
At Palace Wood, we are passionate about providing the very best opportunities for all our children. We have a supportive and enthusiastic team who are committed to ensuring every child is able to flourish.
This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a team that values creativity, collaboration and a willingness to think differently about how children learn.
