Salmons Brook School is a specialist SEMH (Social Emotional and Mental Health) school for young people aged 11 – 18. We have 70 places for young people. We opened in September 2022 for 40 young people in Year 7 – 10. Our vision and core purpose is to improve the quality of life for our school and wider community by nurturing potential. We are focused on developing positive character traits within our students and approach this through a shared commitment to our ‘CREATE’ values (Community; Relationships; Enrichment; Aspirations; Trust and Education).
We are looking for an SEN teacher, specialising in English, who will be able to develop and deliver KS3 and KS4 English curriculum, supporting young people to gain qualifications that range from Entry level, level 1 and GCSE or Level 2 equivalents. Due to the nature of our School, there be a need to develop and deliver some of our ‘CREATE and Character’ lessons, which is our PSHE/Careers/Personal Development curriculum.
This is an exciting opportunity for a Secondary English trained teacher, a SEN teacher or a primary trained teacher who would relish the opportunity to work with Secondary aged young people with SEMH needs.
As a specialist SEMH school, knowledge and experience working with young people with SEND and SEMH is a requirement. We are a trauma-sensitive school which adopts a restorative approach to behaviour. We have developed a unique approach to teaching and learning that is designed to meet both the academic and SEMH needs of our students. Our teachers will need to embrace our ‘four-element’ curriculum model, as well as integrating our CREATE values and ‘Circles of Intervention’ into a holistic way of working within their subjects.
As well as subject and curriculum expertise, our teachers will be calm and sensitive at times of potential dysregulation. They will be experienced in de-escalation techniques and have a working and practical knowledge of key frameworks such as emotion coaching, nurture principles and zones of regulation. They will need to be committed to our core purpose and desire to improve the quality of life for our community and will have to develop a curriculum and learning experience that enables our young people to achieve, both in the short and long term.
Salmons Brook School is a unique school community and so we are looking for someone who will complement the existing staff team and who can work collaboratively with our young people, families, and staff to make an impact.
