Nurture Teacher - Intervention Teacher - Primary - Mental Health - Dorking

Would you like to work with young people who need support with their social, emotional mental health? Are you looking for a role that's not a typical class teacher position? If so, this is the ideal opportunity for you.

The School:

All students that attend the school have a designated Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) which details their specific needs in terms of the care and support they will have access to. The pupils at the school can struggle to form string, healthy relationships and can present high levels of anxiety and challenging behaviour.

All the schools in the Trust have access to The Training School, so as a member of staff, you will have access to high levels of ongoing support and training which will help your career to progress.
