Thriftwood is a well-respected, 'Outstanding' provision for pupils with moderate learning difficulties. 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 an open-minded, 'can-do' attitude, who is willing to learn in the role.
We can offer you:
- 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 bright new future
