Do you like children and young people and want to help the next generation excel?

Are you a great communicator and a hardworking team player, ready for your next professional challenge?

Here, at Abbot's Lea School we work as a team to provide outstanding holistic education to our students aged 3-19, all of whom live with Autism and associated support needs.

Located in Woolton, L25, our school wants what’s best for our community:

- students are at the centre of what we do

- staff are the leaders in our students’ learning journey and are the most valued resource

- the governors, the headteacher and the entire leadership team have high expectations and offer professional and personal support every step of the way. This includes comprehensive onboarding and induction training, buddying and mentoring, continuous professional development, employee assistance programme, including private healthcare, a range of employee benefits and occupational pension.

Previous experience might be advantageous but is not necessary, as all training will be given during the first six months on the job.

Apply now for a fresh start on 1 September (or as soon as possible after that 🙂)

We love bringing our students’ interests to life! 🌳🔎

Marley enjoyed a forest walk with a special surprise—a Where’s Wally? hunt! He was thrilled when Mr Garcia transformed into Wally, making the adventure even more exciting. Seeing Marley’s smile made it all worthwhile! ❤️
