Specialist Teacher - Dyslexia

Great Ballard School is seeking an exceptional Dyslexia Teacher to join our Learning Support team supporting children across the school by providing 1-1 and small group sessions. This role would start in September 2024.

The successful candidate must have a Level 5-7 Dyslexia Qualification. We are looking for up to two full days worth of sessions with flexibility as to when these sessions run across the week, 34 weeks per year.

Great Ballard School is a delightful, co-educational independent day school, for children aged 2 - 16 years. Great Ballard is truly unique in providing individualised care and support for the children and a safe space in which each pupil can be inspired and discover what they can really achieve. Pupils are known by all staff, not just their form tutor and the school takes great pride in ensuring that none ever feel invisible or overlooked.

Our educational approach is built around the 4Hs (Head, Hand, Heart and Health) with an ethos rooted in building the strongest relationships and on empathy and respect. Our young people recognise a need to be role models but also to lift others, to serve and to give. And we love to take education beyond the classroom making the most of our wonderful location and prioritising creativity, teamwork and pupil well-being. While we celebrate achievements right across the co-curricular range, we also acknowledge the value of the arts and exercise in shaping happy, healthy and resilient young lives.

Above all else, we value our warmth and our sense of family and all visitors, young and old, quickly recognise just how keen we are to get to know them and to start including their individual journeys within our own.

We are a growing school on an exciting journey and keen to make it with a team who are looking for something fresh, something different and something special.
