Thriftwood is a well-respected, ‘Outstanding’ provision for pupils with moderate learning difficulties. Our students have a range of different needs, which may include difficulties with communication, social or physical skills and, because of this, they often need a little extra help to manage everyday activities.
At Thriftwood, we believe that learning is life-long and that it applies to everyone, including our staff. Prior experience of working in education isn’t therefore necessary – our most important requirement is for someone with an open-minded, ‘can-do’ attitude, who is willing to learn in the role.
We can offer you:
A range of high quality professional development opportunities
Varied, interesting and highly rewarding work
Support to progress your career at Thriftwood and across the SEAX Trust schools
Very competitive pay, including an additional week’s pay per annum to cover training and development
A commitment to staff wellbeing, including an employee assistance programme offering free counselling to all staff and their close family members
A social, caring and dedicated team of colleagues, focussed on the best outcomes for all students and staff
A bright new future
