Suitable candidates will be able to work well under their own initiative and have high levels of resilience, excellent ICT and administrative skills and an exemplary attendance record.
Our school provides a unique opportunity to provide for both the educational and mental health needs of our pupils in one setting. All of our pupils are assessed on entry, with a highly personalised package of education and therapeutic support provided accordingly.
