Job overview
We require a dedicated Learning Support Teacher to join a fantastic Primary team committed to child-centred, inquiry-based learning, putting the needs of every child first.
We are looking for a teacher who appreciates our holistic and inclusive approach and can support children with a range of learning needs. Many of our students have varied educational backgrounds and, while not having specific learning needs, they do need support in achieving their potential.
As an inclusive school, KISU will enrol students with mild to moderate learning difficulties. When we feel we can support a student, we will also consider more severe learning difficulties on a case-by-case basis. The role of the Learning Support Teacher will be in the Primary department and may include some EAL teaching as the need arises.
Please submit a copy of your CV, together with a photograph and a short letter of application, and the names and contact details (including email addresses) of three professional referees (including your most recent Principal/Head of School). These should be forwarded to recruitment@kisu.com. The successful candidate must be willing for us to undertake rigorous safeguarding checks.
