Hamilton School is an SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) Special School in Reading educating up to 64 students with Education, Health Care Plans (EHCP). Our mission is to recognise each and every one of our students as individuals, and to nurture their potential, developing the whole child through a therapeutic approach. This means that you would have to be a resilient character who is able to remain positive when dealing with challenging behaviour.   The school is proud to have recently opened its doors to a state-of-the-art building with wonderful new facilities for both pupils and staff.

Staff Wellbeing is very important to us.  As a member of Maiden Erlegh Trust staff these are just some of the examples of how we show our appreciation to staff.

• We operate a system of ‘ME days’ allowing staff to request on additional day off per year to attend special events such as children’s sports days & graduations, family and friends' weddings.
• CPD is available for all staff at all levels.
• Free flu vaccinations are offered to all staff.
• Free eye tests are provided for eligible staff.
• Breakfast and lunch provided for staff regularly, including on many INSET days and as a thank you throughout the year.

Being part of the Maiden Erlegh Trust also offers a range of career opportunities across our schools. For our teaching team we offer a flexible CPD programme which staff can tailor to their own needs which includes coaching and training for new entrants to the profession and to support career returners.

We have a proven track record of supporting ambitious staff into middle and senior leadership posts and can offer opportunities to broaden your impact on the sector through the work of the Maiden Erlegh Institute. We are very happy to discuss flexible working arrangements, including part-time working and job-sharing

All our vacancies can be found HERE or on the TES website HERE.
