CLASS TEACHER
Inspire. Nurture. Transform.
Do you believe every child deserves a fresh start? We are seeking an exceptional Class Teacher to make a lasting impact at The Stables — a specialist independent school where teaching is genuinely creative, therapeutic and life-changing.
At The Stables Independent School, we work with children aged 6–14 who have social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, many of whom have experienced disruption, exclusion and a fear of learning. We turn those experiences around — through expert, compassionate teaching, small class sizes, and an educational approach that is diverse, thought-provoking, creative, inspirational and soaked in memorable moments.
You will join a school where staff are well trained, highly motivated and truly valued — and where the progress you help a child make is celebrated by the whole team.
