Newfield
School is an impressive, well-resourced special school in Blackburn,
Lancashire, providing high-quality specialist education, care and therapy for
children and young people aged 4-19 with a wide range of needs, including
autism, PMLD, SLD, complex medical needs, sensory impairments and physical
disabilities.
The post provides
an excellent opportunity for a teacher who is interested in working in a
specialist setting and offers exciting opportunities for professional
development and personal growth in support of our vision of lifelong learning for all.
At Newfield,
we believe every child deserves to feel safe, understood and successful. We are
looking for an exceptional teacher to join our values-led school community
built on high expectations, calm consistency and a deep commitment to children.
Our vision is
to create a school where children thrive because adults work relationally,
think carefully and act with clarity, dignity and purpose. Our mission is to
give every child the education they deserve - through trust, structure,
ambition and unwavering care.
We believe
that children learn best when they are well regulated, well supported and
surrounded by adults who hold high expectations with warmth, clarity and
consistency. Our approach is rooted in the understanding that behaviour is
communication, relationships matter, and learning must be built on trust,
safety and belonging.
We are
building a school where values are lived in practice every day. We want staff
who are reflective, resilient and committed to improving outcomes for children
with additional needs. We are looking for professionals who value teamwork,
embrace challenge, and believe that great teaching starts with great
relationships.
We welcome
applications from teachers who are creative, passionate and motivated to
deliver high standards in education, and who wish to join our friendly,
supportive and dedicated school community from September 2026.
We are
particularly keen to hear from teachers who:
are passionate about improving
outcomes for children and young people with additional needs
have high expectations and a
strong sense of professional responsibility
can build trusting relationships
with pupils, families and colleagues
understand the importance of
regulation, consistency and relational practice
are reflective, resilient and
committed to continual improvement
want to contribute to a strong
team culture, rather than work in isolation
