Full or part time teacher (0.8) for The Surrey Teaching Centre at The Children’s Trust

Initially for a mixed age group of approximately 5 pupils with profound & multiple learning difficulties.

Required to start after Easter 2012

The Centre aims to provide appropriate, quality education for the children & young people resident within the Children’s services department of the Children’s Trust. The teachers aim to minimise the interruption and disruption of a child’s schooling by continuing education as normally as the child’s condition allows. We work very closely with medical and therapy staff as part of an interdisciplinary team, and there are excellent opportunities for professional development .

The Children’s Trust offers a variety of services to children aged 0-18 years, including
· Rehabilitation for children with acquired brain injury
. Long term care for children with profound disabilities
. Respite care for children with profound disabilities

The service has recently moved to a new purpose built therapy and teaching centre. This excellent new building includes clusters of well-resourced spacious group rooms, smaller therapy rooms. There is a large multi-sensory room, soft play room, therapy room and parents room as well as office facilities. All these rooms surround a multi-sensory courtyard. The therapy centre is situated close the children’s houses in the landscaped gardens of Tadworth Court.
