Recruitment open evening for special education roles

This is your chance to discover inspiring opportunities and meet the dedicated teams who make a real difference every day.

This event welcomes anyone passionate about working with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Representatives from both Tettenhall Wood School and Penn Hall School will be present, showcasing a wide range of vacancies – including Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Lunchtime Supervisors – and offering insights into their unique and supportive working environments. Application forms will be available to take away or complete on the day.

Tettenhall Wood School, located in Wolverhampton, is a specialist school renowned for its inclusive ethos and personalised approach to educating children and young people aged 5 to 19 with complex communication needs, including autism. Join their team and be part of a school committed to developing independence and essential life skills in every pupil.

Nearby, in the historic Penn Hall grounds, Penn Hall School provides a nurturing environment for children and young people aged 3 to 19 with physical disabilities, complex medical needs, as well as learning difficulties. Discover how their skilled therapy teams and tailored curriculum help each child thrive academically and personally.

Both schools offer a rewarding career path with a strong emphasis on professional growth. Benefit from their well-established Personal Development programmes and be supported to continually build your skills and confidence. Many staff members have progressed into new roles and responsibilities within the schools and across the wider trust, demonstrating the commitment to internal advancement.

Looking to start a rewarding career in education? We are also actively seeking to recruit apprentices into a variety of support roles. This is a valuable entry point, providing high-quality training, hands-on experience, and mentorship from experienced professionals, helping you grow into a confident and capable member of our school communities.

At the Open Evening, you'll have the invaluable opportunity to speak directly with staff from both schools, gaining firsthand knowledge of the vision and values that drive their work. Experience the positive, team-oriented culture that makes Tettenhall Wood and Penn Hall such special and fulfilling places to work.

For those working in the care sector, your invaluable skills in empathy, patience, and person-centred support are highly transferable to the rewarding field of special education. This open evening offers a chance to explore how your dedication to helping others can empower young people with special educational needs and disabilities to thrive.

If you are a skilled practitioner – or simply motivated by the desire to make a real difference – this evening offers the perfect opportunity to discover how your career could flourish in a supportive SEND setting. Whether you’re a qualified teacher, a new graduate, considering a career change, or seeking a support or apprenticeship role within a caring school community, there’s never been a better time to explore what’s on offer.
