Job overview
We are looking for an enthusiastic, energetic, and innovative Teacher with strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to achieving high standards within a thriving department to teach a range of subjects. The successful candidate will have a strong academic background, be an excellent classroom practitioner who is capable of inspiring and motivating students and have experience of working with children with special educational needs (please note this does not need to be within a special school setting).
We welcome applications from both primary and secondary qualified teachers. We have a great mixture of both within our school, something that greatly enhances our curriculum offer! The majority of our students are working at a KS1 and KS2 level with a small number studying GCSEs in English, Maths and Art.
For this particular role, the successful candidate would need to teach and coordinate History throughout the school and deliver a small amount of Science as well as some other subjects. For candidates that are interested there would also be the opportunity for a middle leadership responsibility as Head of Year. This is optional.
Working in a special school is extremely rewarding, and our students continue to amaze us on a daily basis with their attitudes, achievements and behaviour. We welcome you to come and meet us and see our fantastic students and staff in action prior to placing your application.
