  The school is split across two sites - Wheeler Street in Lozells (co-located with Holte School and Lozells Juniour and Infant School and Nursery) and Heathfield Road in Handsworth.

Class placement will be based on experience and we welcome applicants with EYFS, primary, secondary or post 16 experience in any type of educational setting.
At Mayfield School, teachers are valued and their CPD is supported and invested in. We recognise that working with young people with SEND can be challenging and a full programme of training and support is offered. We expect teachers to adopt creative, innovative, and highly personalised approaches to engaging young people in learning and enabling them to make progress. This is a joyful and rewarding job and one where you can really make a difference to the lives of young people and their families. We are looking for reliable, consistent, positive and solution focused people who will seek every opportunity to provide rich learning experiences for our pupils and who can show personal resilience and a commitment to children's universal rights. Applications are welcomes from unqualified or qualified teachers who have experience of working directly with children or young people in any setting and who are willing to work with others as part of a strong team. Special school experience is not necessary providing you have a willingness to learn and a dedication to securing positive outcomes for all pupils. ECTs are welcome to apply. A recent welbee staff survey showed Mayfield as being in the top 20% of schools showing that risks of work-related stress and staff wellbeing are effectively managed and controlled. Our team tell us that they value the in-house training offered by the school and welcome the professional development opportunities available to them. This post could be based in any key stage class working with pupils who have persistent differences with social interaction, social communication and understanding emotions. Our pupils need clear boundaries and consistent support with engagement, learning, emotional regulation, sensory needs, and behaviour management.
