Science Teacher

Our client is a small setting with a maximum number of 12 students which means that class sizes are small, enabling you to personalise learning. We are a supportive team and are seeking a colleague who shares the same vision and ethos as we do. Our students are very special to us and whilst they may arrive with learning barriers we promote a 'can't do yet' mantra.

Our children 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.

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

The Role

We are seeking an experienced subject specialist who can teach from KS2 - KS4. You will be an engaging practitioner and passionate about developing language and reading skills for all our students. No matter the accreditation which is best for the child to pursue, we maintain high aspirations for our children regardless of their learning journey and don t underestimate the importance of qualifications to provide our children with life chances and opportunities. You will also be able to deliver maths and contribute to the wider curriculum. This is essential in a small team.

Our School teachers inspire children, creating a sense of awe and wonder and making subjects and lessons real and relevant to them. They plan exciting and engaging learning opportunities which challenge and push students, whether they are working on the very basics or they are have a special talent or passion for the subject.

Our children require very special teachers who are able to manage some complex and challenging behaviours. They will know that our children require lots of attention, the right sort of communication, consistency and flexibility in equal measure, and a non-judgemental approach.

We want our teachers to be part of the decision making that drives our school, provides outcomes for children and advocates for every child. We welcome their input in developing both the academic curriculum and the opportunities in our extra-curricular offer bringing their own interests and passions to the table.
