The school are looking for a teacher who will build positive and nurturing relationships with learners in order to engage them with their learning and ensure the best possible outcomes. They look for teachers of children first and foremost, rather than teachers of subjects.

The successful candidate will inspire students as well as making subjects and learning relevant to them. You will plan engaging lessons that challenge and stretch learners regardless of ability. The school offers a range of qualifications to best meet the needs of all learners, and the successful candidate will deliver a Maths curriculum.

Teachers at the school can utilise support from a team of passionate staff that includes, school leaders, SENCO’s, pastoral leads and teaching assistants and will need to take a multi-agency approach in working in partnership with psychologists, therapeutic professionals, & more.

The successful candidate will be resilient, caring and take a non-judgmental approach in teaching learners who can display complex and challenging behaviours.

Learners come from a wide range of backgrounds, but all have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Many will also have other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) such as Autism, ADHD, and communication difficulties. Many will have suffered significant trauma and adverse childhood experiences and may have social care involvement.

The work the school does is both varied and challenging and, as a trauma and attachment informed organisation, all staff are provided with extensive therapeutic training and support.
