Job Introduction

Are you an inspiring teacher ready for a new challenge? Whether you're currently in mainstream education and considering a move into SEND, or already experienced in special schools, Forest Park School offers a rewarding and varied career where you can make a real difference.

We also welcome applications from those relocating-join a friendly, supportive team where you'll quickly feel part of the community. We have a vacancy for September and we are also planning ahead to January 2027. Therefore, we can consider a permanent full time position and there is the possibility of a temporary part time (3 day) position.

About Us

Forest Park School is a Hampshire special school for pupils aged 2-19 with severe, profound and complex learning difficulties, many with autism. Based across two sites in Totton, we are committed to "opening the door to what's possible" through our values of communication, independence, aspiration, respect and resilience.

Why Join Us?

A meaningful career change with strong support for those new to SEND
A highly varied role where every day is different
Excellent CPD, coaching and development opportunities
A welcoming, skilled and collaborative staff team
The chance to have a lasting impact on pupils' lives

The Role

We are seeking creative, resilient and committed teachers to join us from September 2026. You will deliver personalised learning within a supportive, forward-thinking team, helping every pupil achieve their potential.

We Are Looking For Someone Who:

Is a strong classroom practitioner (SEND experience helpful but not essential)
Can deliver creative, personalised learning
Has high expectations and a positive, solution-focused approach
Is flexible, resilient and a strong team player
Is committed to ongoing professional development
Can inspire and lead a class team

At Forest Park School, you'll find a career full of purpose, variety and opportunity. We'd love to hear from you.
