Located in Bolton BL2, our specialist secondary school dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, and dynamic learning environment for young people with complex learning needs including Autism, Global Development Delays, MLD, PMLD (profound and multiple learning disabilities) and other SEN.

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS) or relevant teaching qualifications.
  • A creative mindset with a passion for sensory and activity-based learning.
  • Empathy, resilience, and a sense of humor.
  • Exceptional teamwork and communication skills.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of children.
    Experience in special education or working with complex needs is an advantage, but above all, we value your willingness to learn and grow with us.
Why Choose Us?
  • A welcoming and supportive team who are as passionate as you are.
  • The chance to transform lives through creativity, innovation, and compassion.
  • A school culture that values well-being, collaboration, and mutual respect.
