Newfield School is an impressive, well-resourced special school in Blackburn, Lancashire, providing high-quality specialist education, care and therapy for children and young people aged 4-19 with a wide range of needs, including autism, PMLD, SLD, complex medical needs, sensory impairments and physical disabilities.

The post provides an excellent opportunity for a teacher who is interested in working in a specialist setting and offers exciting opportunities for professional development and personal growth in support of our vision of lifelong learning for all.

At Newfield, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, understood and successful. We are looking for an exceptional teacher to join our values-led school community built on high expectations, calm consistency and a deep commitment to children.

Our vision is to create a school where children thrive because adults work relationally, think carefully and act with clarity, dignity and purpose. Our mission is to give every child the education they deserve - through trust, structure, ambition and unwavering care.

We believe that children learn best when they are well regulated, well supported and surrounded by adults who hold high expectations with warmth, clarity and consistency. Our approach is rooted in the understanding that behaviour is communication, relationships matter, and learning must be built on trust, safety and belonging.

We are building a school where values are lived in practice every day. We want staff who are reflective, resilient and committed to improving outcomes for children with additional needs. We are looking for professionals who value teamwork, embrace challenge, and believe that great teaching starts with great relationships.

We welcome applications from teachers who are creative, passionate and motivated to deliver high standards in education, and who wish to join our friendly, supportive and dedicated school community from September 2026.

We are particularly keen to hear from teachers who:

• are passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people with additional needs
• have high expectations and a strong sense of professional responsibility
• can build trusting relationships with pupils, families and colleagues
• understand the importance of regulation, consistency and relational practice
• are reflective, resilient and committed to continual improvement
• want to contribute to a strong team culture, rather than work in isolation
