English Teacher - Medical Needs School - Full or Part Time - Chesham

We are seeking an experienced English teacher for our small Orchard House Alternative Provision School, supporting students in Years 7-11 whose mental health needs are currently preventing them from attending their mainstream school. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious and innovative trust, where you will have the opportunity to create meaningful and lasting change in the lives of some of the most vulnerable students in Buckinghamshire.

The successful applicant must constantly model Aspire’s vision and values and uphold high levels of integrity and standards. They will also be able to build positive relationships with students, colleagues and parents alike, working alongside a welcoming and dedicated staff team.

Students at Orchard House need a nurturing and loving approach, need to feel valued and cared for, and need to have teachers and leaders who believe in them. We know that working in AP is not always easy. We want to find a resilient and creative teacher who can be strong in the face of the challenges that the role presents. We are looking for a versatile and creative English teacher who can support students with the English syllabus offered by their mainstream school, often in situations where the student has been unwell for a long time.

We have high expectations of our students, who are unwell, who often have complex backgrounds, and/or a number of unmet special educational needs. When they receive the right support, they are capable of great things. We are looking for someone who will help them discover extraordinary things about the world, and about themselves. Could this be you? If so, we would love to hear from you.
