This is a fantastic opportunity for a talented teacher to join The Spires College. The post is primarily the main class teacher of our key stage three classes who are working at significantly below age-expected levels. However, this area of the college continues to grow, and additional opportunities may well arise. The College ensures all staff have a personalised CPD programme to support their career development.

 You will:

• be, or have the potential to become, an excellent classroom practitioner;
• be committed to working in a close, collaborative team environment within the SEND Department, as well as working closely with colleagues across the College;
• be able to use a strong pedagogical understanding to successfully deliver the curriculum;
• be enthusiastic about giving young people the best possible start in life.

The College is a close community, with a shared desire to be the best we can be. We are committed to staff’s professional development and invest heavily in ensuring our teachers grow and flourish as practitioners. 

 We offer:

• The opportunity to work in a supportive, effective team;
