Parkwood Hall is currently a residential and day school for pupils aged 8-19 years with moderate to severe learning difficulties, and other diverse and complex needs. The pupils here are an inspiration to us all.

It’s an exciting time at Parkwood Hall and you would be joining at a transformational time for the academy. Under a new leadership team, Parkwood Hall has undergone radical changes to its behaviour ethos, and curriculum design and implementation.

Parkwood Hall aims to provide an inclusive learning environment which challenges pupils to achieve success and to thrive. Our co-operative values are important to us, especially honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others. They underpin the way we do things here at Parkwood Hall. We are committed to providing a learning environment and learning pathway that enables all our pupils to achieve the best they can be and help prepare them for adult life so they can live as independent a life as possible. We have a highly skilled team of professionals including teachers and teaching assistants, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, Positive Support Behaviour practitioners, school nurses and residential staff.

We are currently seeking excellent teachers who are passionate about working with children and young people with Special Educational Needs to join our highly skilled team. The roles would suit energetic and committed practitioners who can engage children and young people with SEND and continually focus on, and drive, delivery of an adapted curriculum that meets the needs of our pupils in all aspects of their learning including social development, personal needs, communication, independence and life skills.

In return, the successful candidates will join the committed and highly experienced classroom-based teams who are dedicated in providing the best education. Parkwood Hall offers an outstanding professional development package to all staff. In addition, Parkwood Hall also offers an Employee Assistance Programme, free hot drinks and snacks, and ample car parking. We are based on a beautiful site of more than 30 acres and an impressive Victorian building.
