About the Nurture Unit
Our Nurture Unit is a carefully designed provision that provides a safe, structured, and supportive environment for students who benefit from a smaller, more personalised setting.

- Communicate regularly with parents and carers to ensure a consistent approach to support.

We Are Looking For Someone Who:
- Is primary-trained.
- Has a passion for working with vulnerable pupils or those with SEND/SEMH needs.
- Is nurturing, patient, and committed to helping students overcome barriers.
- Can adapt teaching approaches for a small-group, specialist setting.
- Works well as part of a multidisciplinary team.
- Brings warmth, creativity, and enthusiasm to the role.

We Offer:
- A friendly, collaborative and supportive staff team.
- A well-established Nurture Unit with strong systems in place.
