Gesher School is a unique all-through school that provides a specialist, meaningful, and functional learning environment for young people with special educational needs. These needs include language, communication, and social-pragmatic difficulties. We specialise in autism spectrum challenges (ASC).
Young people are at the heart of Gesher School, where we foster a sense of belonging and community. Our school offers a happy, safe, friendly, and stimulating environment in which young people are supported to learn, interact and have fun. We believe that all young people have the potential to achieve, but that every child is individual and requires a tailored, young person-centred approach to learning.
The Gesher approach is warm, friendly, and nurturing. Emotional health and resilience, as well as developing young people’s independence and learning, are at the core of our vision.
To deliver and achieve these outcomes we are looking to add a confident, enthusiastic and highly motivated Jewish Studies Secondary Teacher to join our expanding team at Gesher.

It would be desirable for the candidate to have had experience designing learning that focuses on engaging and purposeful projects that will enable our students to be skilled for the future workplace, confident in their sense of self and builders of meaningful relationships.
