Due to the exciting expansion of 4 additional classes at Ivy House Special School, we are seeking multiple passionate and committed Teachers to join our growing team from September 2026.

We are looking for practitioners with experience of delivering pre-formal, informal, and semi-formal curricula, who are enthusiastic about creating meaningful and engaging learning experiences for students with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) and Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD).

Successful candidates will have a strong understanding of personalised learning, communication development and sensory based approaches. They will be committed to supporting every student to reach their full potential. At Ivy House, we pride ourselves on providing an Inspiring, Nurturing and Empowering environment where staff work collaboratively to meet the needs of our learners and celebrate every achievement.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a developing provision and play a key role in shaping high quality practice as our school community continues to grow.

Ivy House School is a special school for pupils aged 2-19. We offer a happy and supportive environment, where pupils are given the best opportunities through an individualised curriculum and pathway.

At Ivy House School we believe that it is imperative that everyone within our community is:

“working together to inspire, nurture and empower”

This vision captures the importance of the multidisciplinary approach from all stakeholders including families, education, social care and health professionals to ensure that we create an offer for our learners’ that is aspirational (Inspire), offers holistic and personal development, removing barriers to learning (Nurture) and enables students to be as independent as possible so that they are well prepared for life after school, into adulthood and ensuring that no dream is out of reach (Empower).

Our pupils like to come to school. They are justifiably proud of what they achieve and enjoy celebrating not only their own successes but also those of their friends and other peers from across the school.

We have a highly motivated, professional and well-trained team of staff who work collaboratively with parents, carers and other professionals to ensure that all aspects of our offer meet the needs of each of our pupils.
