Medical Education Team: Primary Teacher

About the role

An exciting temporary opportunity has arisen to join the Medical Education Team and be part of Warwickshire's SEND Change journey. This maternity-cover post starts on Monday 4 January 2027 and ends on 21 May 2027, with the possibility of an extension to 21 July 2027.

We're looking for a motivated, enthusiastic primary teacher to join our team of teachers, working with learners, who are unable to attend school due to ill health.

The successful candidate will be responsible for planning and delivering a core curriculum to vulnerable primary learners, the majority of whom have significant mental health needs. Much of the work is delivered virtually, sometimes in homes or in our community learning hubs. Recent online teaching experience is essential.

The teaching team works closely with our pastoral team of Inclusion Mentors, supporting pupils through highly creative intervention work to ensure best outcomes and a return to an educational setting.

The Medical Education Team is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check and a Teacher Prohibition check.
