The Outdoors Group School is an Independent Special School that is based solely outside in a woodland setting for learners with SEMH and ASD needs. We believe in developing the whole learner, not just their academic ability. We use a project-based method, allowing the learner to be completely autonomous, whilst contributing to a well-rounded education based on skills for lifelong learning and personal development.
The school caters for KS2, KS3 and KS4 learners (ages 7-16) and aims to provide a space for learners to develop skill sets and a growth mindset that they have been unable to in previous settings. We work closely with learners’ support networks, both professional and familial and try to create a holistic and engaging place for learners to grow.
This is an exciting time to join us as we continue to grow and increase our support for learners across Devon & Somerset. You will join a dynamic SEND team, led by the SENDCo, working to deliver a consistent, high quality, integrated and seamless service. You will have excellent IT skills and be a confident self-starter. You should be able to demonstrate discretion, sensitivity and confidentiality. Knowledge of safeguarding processes would be an advantage.
This is a diverse role working with some of the hardest to reach learners to help build and develop community engagement.
This role requires an Enhanced DBS check.
