Careers in Education
Our main goal is to help children and young people reach their full potential. At Polaris, we recognise the importance of specialist education and support for children who need a tailored approach to learning.
We make significant investments in our schools and are excited to offer incredible resources to our staff to help them support children and young people with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties (SEMH), or communication and interaction, cognition, and learning needs.
Making a difference to children and helping them to grow is what’s most important to us and so we provide an innovative curriculum that enables each of our learners to develop their personal, emotional, social, and academic skills and knowledge, which will shape their whole life.
We are looking for passionate and nurturing individuals who share our ethos to join our education community.
