Are you a passionate and experienced teacher with a flair for leadership and a heart for inclusive education? Long-term Teachers is proud to be recruiting on behalf of a vibrant and supportive primary school in Somerset for a Resource Base Leader to head up two specialist KS1 and KS2 bases.

This is your chance to take on a meaningful leadership role that truly transforms lives — in a nurturing school that believes every child, regardless of need, deserves an outstanding education.

Why This Role Is Special

The school has created an inclusive, community-driven environment where every child is known and nurtured. The Resource Bases are specialist provisions for pupils with EHCPs, capped at 10 children per base. You'll lead a dedicated team, shape tailored learning, and work closely with school leaders and external professionals to ensure each child thrives.

As Resource Base Leader, you’ll:

• Lead and manage a team across both bases, supporting up to 20 children.

• Deliver an engaging, personalised curriculum that meets individual EHCP targets.

• Model outstanding teaching and behaviour strategies.

• Drive high-quality provision and continuous development across the team.

• Collaborate with the SENCO, Heads of School, and external agencies to ensure every pupil’s success.

• Play an integral role in transition planning and placement consultations.

• Support integration with the main school, when appropriate.

As a class teacher, you’ll:

• Create a trauma-informed, inclusive, and engaging classroom environment.

• Deliver high-quality teaching for pupils with diverse SEND needs.

• Communicate effectively with families and professionals.

• Reflect, adapt, and grow your own practice as part of a dynamic team.

What We're Looking For

We’re seeking someone who is:

• A confident teacher with strong experience in SEND and inclusive practice.

• Proactive, reflective, and enthusiastic about problem-solving.

• Skilled in planning for a wide range of learning needs.

• Passionate about supporting both academic progress and social-emotional development.

• A natural leader who inspires, supports and develops others.

• Warm, collaborative, and a great communicator — with a sense of humour!

What You'll Get in Return

• A leadership role with real impact in a well-resourced setting.

• Small class sizes and supportive colleagues.

• Eager, polite and values-driven children.

• Ongoing CPD and genuine career development.

• A welcoming team and positive school culture.

• Generous benefits through the wider Trust, including enhanced parental leave and pension scheme.
