Address14 – 19 Lead Teacher
MPR/UPR + TLR2 + SEN1
Permanent
Are you an inspirational, committed, dynamic teacher, seeking to join an equally exciting team? Are you committed to preparing young people for adulthood and equipping them with skills needed to live the most independent life possible? Are you creative and energetic? If so, Mabel Prichard School has an opportunity for you. We are seeking to appoint a teacher to join our middle leadership team to lead our 14-19 phase and to teach our 14-19 vocational pathway.
Mabel Prichard School currently has 118 students on roll and our 14-19 provision currently has 35 students with a range of needs across different classes and pathways. We offer aspirational opportunities for all our learners with a real focus on building those skills they need to lead a full and enriching life, where they can contribute positively to society.
Our 14-19 learners follow pathways best suited to their needs. Some follow a vocational pathway, with an emphasis on preparing for independent or supported living with some aspect of work, while others develop skills of independence in terms of agency and engagement with the world around them.
The curriculums all focus on developing appropriate communication, social, physical and creative skills, with some following functional skills programmes in English and Maths. There is a strong emphasis on relevant life skills for individuals and if you are passionate about ensuring learners are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need for a meaningful and fulfilling adult life, this is the role for you.
Our 14-19 learners experience as many real-life opportunities as we can offer in order that they prepare for life in the wider community. We have an onsite café run by students and links with local leisure and community facilities, and businesses.
The successful candidate will join our skilled and enthusiastic middle leadership team and have opportunities for career development within the Gallery Trust, including joining the outreach team to support other settings, and a suite of excellent CPD. If you have energy, creativity, and a commitment to positive outcomes for all, we would love to hear from you.
You will:
Have experience of promoting excellent outcomes for learners with PMLD, SLD, ASD and other complex needs.
Have some experience of working with post 16 learners or secondary education.
Be creative in your ideas and be able to see them through to the finish.
Be an excellent team player
