Interview dates: 16/12/25 & 17/12/25
 
Compass Community School Athelstan is an
independent specialist school providing high-quality, therapeutic and
child-centred education to boys and girls from 7 to 17 years of age in
Westbury, Wiltshire. 

Our children come from a wide range of
backgrounds, but all have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs
(SEMH). Many will also have other Special Educational Needs and
Disabilities (SEND) such as Autism, ADHD, and communication
difficulties.

The work we do is both varied and challenging
and, as a trauma and attachment informed organisation, all staff are
provided with extensive therapeutic training and support.

Our closely triangulated approach places the
child at the centre of decision making, ensuring that education and
therapy professionals, parents/carers, local authority teams and, most
importantly, our students can work together to secure outstanding
outcomes for all.

The Role

We are all primarily teachers of children before
teachers of subjects. Central to this role is knowing the child,
building professional, nurturing and positive relationships and
motivating students.

We require a Teacher with the ability/willing to
teach English and/or Maths to GCSE level. No matter the accreditation
which is best for the child to pursue, we maintain high aspirations for
our children regardless of their learning journey and don't
underestimate the importance of qualifications to provide our children
with life chances and opportunities.

Compass Community School teachers inspire
children, creating a sense of awe and wonder and making subjects and
lessons real and relevant to them. They plan exciting and engaging
learning opportunities which challenge and push students, whether they
are working on the very basics or they are have a special talent or
passion for the subject.

Our children require very special teachers who
are able to manage some complex and challenging behaviours. They will
know that our children require lots of attention, the right sort of
communication, consistency and flexibility in equal measure, and a
non-judgemental approach.

We want our teachers to be part of the decision
making that drives our school, provides outcomes for children and
advocates for every child. We welcome their input in developing both the
academic curriculum and the opportunities in our extra-curricular offer
– bringing their own interests and passions to the table.


In Compass Schools, we believe all teachers are, primarily teachers of children, before being teachers of subjects. Central to this role is knowing the child, building professional, nurturing and positive relationships and motivating students.
