‘CAT employs rolling recruitment methodologies, with shortlisting and interviews for some roles taking place as and when applications are received. This may mean that some roles are recruited to before the closing date, and therefore advise that applications are made without undue delay’

Established in 2019, Carlton Academy Trust emerged from the outstanding success of Carlton Bolling, an inner-city Bradford secondary school. Today, we proudly oversee three secondary schools, three primary schools, and two special schools, collectively educating nearly 5000 students.

 Beechcliffe School, nestled within this dynamic network, is currently rated as a 'Good' special school by Ofsted. Our focus is on nurturing the potential of every student in Key Stages 3 to 5, providing them with the support they need to thrive. Here, you'll find a dedicated team of skilled professionals who are not only hardworking but deeply committed to the holistic development of each child.

Beechcliffe Keighley is an over-subscribed school which meets the needs of 180 pupils who have severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties and autism spectrum disorder, and many of our pupils have additional complex health, medical and or sensory needs.

 Our school ethos is ‘to provide opportunities within a broad and balanced, therapeutic curriculum so that each child can achieve success’, and we do this through a variety of lessons and activities both in school and in the wider community. As well as structured teaching in the classroom, we have amazing facilities on site that include a hydrotherapy pool, a life skills room, specialist music, ICT and food technology rooms, a multi-sensory rebound area, and fully equipped sensory rooms. We promote outdoor learning through our forest school and in our sensory and wildlife gardens, at our allotment and within the local environment; our pupils gain work experience at a local community café and attend courses at college, and we run both day and residential visits including participation in the Duke of Edinburgh’s award scheme.

Our teachers are key to ensuring that every one of our youngsters makes the best progress and development they can whilst also promoting their happiness and wellbeing. You will have the opportunity to work in range of SEN environments, so you’ll need to be flexible, adaptable and willing to work with pupils with a range of complex needs and challenging behaviours. The work can be physically and emotionally demanding, so it’s essential that you’re emotionally resilient, and physically able to meet the demands of the post.
