Co-op Academy Rathbone is our newest special educational needs academy. Situated around 3 miles from Liverpool city centre, Co-op Academy Rathbone caters for 70 children aged 5-11 with social, emotional and mental health needs and will be a beacon of best practice, providing exemplary care and education. This is an exciting time to come and join us. 

We are now seeking a Teacher who can demonstrate high expectations and ambition for themselves, our children, and their families; someone who will work alongside our excellent staff team to ensure that our amazing pupils get the best start, enabling them to thrive and make excellent educational and personal progress. There is no limit to our ambitions.

You may have experience of working in a SEND context, with children with complex needs. More importantly, we need people with a heart,  patience and understanding, and the drive and determination to provide an excellent education to our children. The post will suit someone with energy and an endless drive and the ambition and creativity to make learning irresistible. 

You will be supported, you will be challenged - you will receive ongoing training and receive an excellent grounding in SEND.

We will also be interested in Co-op Academies Trust primary teacher colleagues who would like to apply and be considered for an initial two-term secondment from January 2026 - August 2026. You will need the support of your Headteacher before applying.
