Salary: M1-UPS depending on experience +TLR

Working hours: Monday - Friday

Qualifications: QTS or equivalent

Start date: Negotiable


Are you looking for a fresh challenge where no 2 days are the same?

Fed up of the pressures of a mainstream school, high workload or just want a change?

We encourage free thinking, experiential learning and the freedom to design and teach how you feel the children learn best.

We give double PPA where you can also work from home if preferred.

The school day is 9-3 where TAs are paid until 4.30 in order to help the work life balance of all and ensure plenty of time to prep.

The Place Independent School is for pupils with Social Emotional and Mental Health Needs (SEMH). The school opened a few years ago and we run from Year 2 to Year 13. We had ofsted in March and was granted permission to expanded further. Over the next year, due to pupil numbers, we will be expanding the building (across multiple sites) and growing the team to those who would like to join this journey with us.

We believe that all our pupils are entitled to high quality learning experiences, where we support their needs holistically.

The role is for a teacher focusing on Science for years 9-13. We offer exceptional and diverse teaching opportunities to support our pupils and make their time at school happy and productive, creating an inclusive learning environment where everyone feels valued and respects each other. Some young people have been out of school a long time or have not been able to access education- therefore you need to be able to think creatively and out of the box.

Whether experienced in SEN or never been in a SEND school before- we are open to people who just want to be providing the right thing for the best children.

Qualities we are looking for:

- Understanding the whole child

- Understanding effective behaviour management

- Awareness of social and emotional development

- Reflective practitioner

- Have a ‘whatever it takes attitude’ to remove barriers for learning

- Passionate about making a difference to some of the most vulnerable children

- A team player with a sense of humour


In return, we can offer you:

- Free breakfast and lunch daily

- A collaborative ethos, working with other schools in our organisation and colleagues

- Competitive salary

- 10 paid duvet days a year (to take when you want- as sometimes it’s frustrating not being able to book annual leave)

- Annual performance reviews with opportunity for development and salary increase

- Staff laptop

- Opportunities for career development and professional qualification opportunities.

- A thorough induction process

- Grounds and resources that can aid and support learning, with a healthy budget to plan wow

- Enthused team that think outside of the box

- An opportunity to positively impact (to a great extent) the futures and lives of our children

- A staff wellbeing and mental health focus throughout all our decisions

- Free car parking

- Uniform provided

- Access to discount, cashback and voucher scheme 


We would love to hear from you if this sounds like an opportunity you wouldn’t want to miss! Visits to the school are encouraged.
