About Family Care
Family Care is a small family-owned organisation providing specialist SEN education, fostering, and residential care across the North West and West Midlands. We are committed to supporting vulnerable children and young people through nurturing, therapeutic services that have a lasting impact on their lives.
About Eden School
Eden School is a specialist independent school in Macclesfield where every child is valued as part of a close and supportive community. We provide individualized SEN education within a therapeutic learning environment for young people aged 6-16 with autism, ADHD, and/or social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. Pupils are taught in small classes of no more than six, each supported by at least one full-time Learning Support Assistant (LSA) to ensure a high level of personalized support.
About the Role
We are seeking a Lead Teacher with experience teaching across KS2-KS4 in either a mainstream or special school setting, using a primary-style approach tailored to support individual learning and developmental needs. Alongside a full teaching commitment, the Lead Teacher will work closely with the Headteacher, taking a lead role in teaching and learning, curriculum development, and the quality of education across the school.
