KS3 SEND Teacher.

Applications are welcome from primary and/or secondary trained colleagues able to offer the following skills/ experience:

The Acorns School 11-16 PRU is looking to recruit two teachers who are able to work with specific groups of students on a daily basis with challenging behaviour and complex needs. The role involves working with young people undergoing assessment for an EHCP and/or involvement with Children’s Social Care via Child in Need or Child Protection processes and/or CAMHs. The role involves being a form tutor and includes working and liaison with other agencies to support the young people in that form group.

The school is situated in pleasant surroundings and employs 30 staff. It serves the West Lancashire district and occasionally pupils from outside that area. The school is commissioned by the local authority to provide an education for the following categories: pupils attend the school as a result of permanent exclusion or for medical needs on the advice of a hospital Consultant or CAMHS professional. The school is commissioned by local mainstream secondary schools to support pupils who may be at risk of exclusion or who are having difficulties in school for a variety of reasons. The Acorns School also takes young people on roll who are unable to access a mainstream school for other reasons and this usually includes being placed with us as the named school on their EHCP, being new to the area, returning from home education and pupils in year 11 unable to find a school place. Throughout the year, the pupil roll increases and groups are subject to change.

The ideal applicant would need to be a positive, flexible and resilient individual who easily adapts to change and is a good team player always willing to support colleagues and share expertise. If you believe you have the right skills and mind-set please do not hesitate to apply indicating how your strengths can assist the school in moving forward. CPD is given the highest priority and new staff are mentored by established colleagues.

It is strongly advised that you visit the school as you will be able to see its clear strengths and facilities. Please contact Debbie Williams School Business Manager to arrange to visit.
