Thriftwood is a well-respected provision for pupils and students with moderate learning difficulties, which was designated ‘Outstanding’ at its last Ofsted Inspection. Our students have a range of different needs, which may include difficulties with communication, social or physical skills and, because of this, they often need a little extra help to manage everyday activities.

At Thriftwood, we believe that learning is life-long and that it applies to everyone, including our staff. Prior experience of working in education isn’t therefore necessary – our most important requirement is for someone with a ‘can-do’ attitude, who is open-minded and willing to learn in the role.

• Would you like to work with respectful, well-mannered students and join a friendly team of like-minded colleagues?
• Would you like to leave work each day knowing you’ve made a difference?

What we offer:

• A range of high quality professional development opportunities
• Varied, interesting and highly rewarding work
• Support to progress your career at Thriftwood and across the SEAX Trust schools
• Very competitive pay, including an additional week’s pay per annum to cover training and development
• A commitment to staff wellbeing, including an employee assistance programme offering free counselling to all staff and their close family members
• A social, caring and dedicated team of colleagues, focussed on the best outcomes for all students and staff
• A bright new future
