Part-Time Class Teacher (0.6) for Secondary SEMH Nurture Provision

We are looking for an exceptional individual for the role of Class Teacher in our new Aylesbury nurture provision for students with social, emotional and/or mental health difficulties.

We believe that young people with SEMH difficulties need and deserve a loving, nurturing approach, clear and high expectations of their behaviour, social development and academic work, and carefully planned support and intervention that enables them to meet and exceed those expectations.

Our aim is to further develop a provision where children and young people learn to manage their SEMH difficulties in school, and in the world, and where they are enabled to study a broad and balanced curriculum, and create exciting and fulfilling futures for themselves.

Our ideal teacher might be from a primary or secondary background. You might have experience in this kind of setting, or you might have worked with children and young people with SEMH difficulties in mainstream and be excited to see what can be achieved in a different kind of setting. You will be excited about teaching in a nurture setting, and leading learning across all curriculum areas.

As a teacher in a developing school, you will need to be creative and resilient, ready to get stuck into everything, and to pull together with the team to develop our provision. You will need to be able to think strategically about the systems and culture we need to ensure that we meet our aims of ensuring that all children make great progress academically as well as with their social, emotional and/or mental health difficulties.

We are looking for a teacher who loves children and young people, who enjoys spending time with them, and who gets excited to share learning with them. You will need to be someone who is able to stay calm under pressure and maintain loving relationships with young people who may display very challenging behaviour.

We seek to employ extraordinary people. We look forward to meeting you!
