Teacher (MPS)

Maternity Cover x 2

Hebden Green Special School in Winsford wishes to appoint 2 Maternity Cover Teachers who are able to deliver an excellent and diverse classroom offer and education to our pupils

This post will likely be within our Foundation Stage and Key Stage 2 departments and will be supporting our pupils who are able to access elements of a mainstream curriculum but who have significant barriers to their learning including those with medical, physical and communication barriers.

Hebden Green is a school for pupils from 2-19 with complex medical, learning, communication and physical needs.  We are a school who values love, learning and individuality. We work expertly with a range of multiagency professionals to meet the health, welfare and educational needs of each of our pupils.

We embrace the idea of family at Hebden Green and work with pupils, families, staff and our local community to create a provision that supports every single one of our pupils.
