St. John's School is a special school; we educate children aged 4-18 with Mild, Moderate, and Severe to Profound Intellectual disabilities. Many students have complex and co-occurring needs.
Experience of working with children/young adults with an Intellectual Disability and a co-occurring diagnosis such as autism or an assessed syndrome is an advantage, as is experience in using LÁMH and training, knowledge, and experience of managing behaviours that challenge.
We are interested in teachers who are passionate, caring and professional, and who will join our established team in making a difference in our learner's educational journey. The teacher will need to engage in patient handling training, crisis management training and epilepsy training. The teacher will work closely and liaise with the school nurse, visiting teachers, CDNT therapists and other agencies.
This advertisement is covering posts that have arisen from retirement and expansion. There will also be a substitute post available for the year arising from a parental leave.
