Our Story:
The Bridge Easton School is a complex needs school which opened in Easton, Norfolk in January 2023. The school is on a growth plan and continues to grow until September 2025 to provide for 180 children and young people with cognition and learning difficulties, and autism. As a school, we work with children, their families and other professionals within education, health, and care to support our children and young people to have a successful journey through their education. In addition to the main school, we offer our Base provision where classes offer a bespoke education to children and young people with high complex needs and autism who require a smaller class environment and often a 1-2-1 staff ratio.
This position is for The Base. We require a teacher to work in Bay Class which is a key stage 1 cohort who are working at pre EYFS level. We are seeking an experienced teacher with a strong knowledge of how to support children within this provision. The person must have strong behaviour management skills, an understanding of how to successfully use space, activities and provision to engage the learners who require significant support. This teacher will need the skill set to support children’s emotion and energy regulation when they display behaviours which can challenge and harm. We would strongly encourage potential applicants to visit the school and see our Base provision during the working day

* Positive and creative with a flexible approach to teaching
