About the School
This Worcester-based specialist school provides a nurturing and inclusive environment for pupils aged 6–16 with a range of additional needs. Staff work collaboratively to create a strong sense of belonging where every child is recognised for their potential. The school blends therapeutic interventions with academic and life skills programmes, allowing children to learn in ways that reflect their individual strengths. The leadership team has established a culture of trust, care, and professional growth — offering structured training and reflective supervision. Ofsted praised the school’s “exceptionally supportive ethos” and noted how pupils “develop both academically and personally through skilled, patient teaching.” The facilities include sensory spaces, outdoor learning areas, and quiet zones designed to support self-regulation. For anyone seeking a SEND role where development and wellbeing go hand in hand, this is an inspiring setting to be part of.

But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?
We get it. Supply agencies can’t always deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but that’s where we’re different…
We’re an education platform service who partner with schools and MATs to support their recruitment, training and wellbeing needs. It’s in our interest to secure you a role you’ll love, in a setting you’ll want to stay in, with a view to progressing your career. If that’s what you want!
Our HR and Safeguarding team consistently go the extra mile to complete your checks as quickly as possible - at no cost to you. To put so much hard work and valuable time into completing these checks and then NOT deliver the opportunities you are looking for…? Well, we’d go out of business pretty quickly!
How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?
Our services to you are completely free.
Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
All roles are paid in line with Teachers Pay and Conditions, or are matched with each school’s salary guidelines for the role you undertake. We'll always negotiate the best possible pay rates that reflect your hard work, experience and qualifications.
