We are looking for a nurturing and empathetic KS3/4 teacher to work alongside some extremely vulnerable young learners.
Most of the children that have a place at the school are there temporarily, with the aim for each one to rejoin mainstream education when they are able to. Each pupil in the school is there due to their medical, health and physical needs (health need can mean either physical health need, or mental health condition). Many of the pupils will also be disadvantaged, socially through missing chunks of their education. This inevitably results in a holistic curriculum that will comprise of identification of gaps in their knowledge and skills, adaptations for their medical and health & physical needs, and subsequently, the application of said knowledge and skills, to support future aspirations. There is a strong emphasis on personal development and pupil wellbeing that aims to support individuals to be healthy, challenge social disadvantage and develop strong and effective relationships.
If you are a qualified teacher currently working in mainstream, but feel a holistic and caring approach would suit you, then please do get in touch as the jump from mainstream to SEND is but a wonderful leap.
If you are curretly working in SEND and would like some more information, please do not hesitate to contact me and we can discuss this and other roles
