About this Role

Mill Water is part of the Special Partnership Trust, an extraordinary education Trust who are redefining Special Educational Needs in the Southwest. Our mission is clear: to be a force for good in SEN and make a positive difference to people's lives. We challenge conventions, pioneer excellence, and work tirelessly to create better tomorrows for our young people and their families.

Mill Water School is an all-age special school for pupils aged 3-19 with severe and complex learning difficulties, including autism, located in the grounds of Bicton College, East Devon. Our beautiful, rural surroundings provide unrivalled opportunities for outdoor learning.

From EYFS through to Post 16, our pupils access a bespoke learning and communication package to challenge their education progress, working in partnership with multi-agency professionals and families.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a talented teacher to develop their teaching and leadership potential within the unique setting of a special multi-academy trust. The successful candidate will have a positive outlook, a proactive approach and a passion for excellence. A successful candidate will need to be tolerant, and understanding, show care and concern whilst being fair and consistent.  They must be resilient with a good sense of humour. 

Applications are invited from candidates who can demonstrate specialism within SEN and an ability to work effectively within a multi-agency team to improve outcomes for our students.

We are committed to safeguarding children and the successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, and will be assessed against the Childcare Disqualification Regulations.
