Form of workJob Introduction
As part of Delta, Education Trust, Harbour School Dorset’s vision is “Learning together in pursuit of happiness”. This means we really care whether pupils love or hate their learning, so we work hard to create a space where pupils learn together to become knowledgeable, self-aware, independent and happy people who make a positive difference, wherever life takes them. Are you an enthusiastic individual who can bring this vision to life and make a real difference to children’s lives?
Dan our Headteacher and his senior team are always looking for awesome people, and right now are looking for a Teacher to join in September 2024 to make a difference to children with ASC and social, emotional and mental health needs. Giving them the opportunities they deserve is a job like no other.
This Teacher will be working with a small group of KS3/KS4 students, and should be confident teaching Functional Skills English and Humanities.
Louis has struggled to attend school for years. Thanks to his teacher, Louis developed ways of learning and emotional regulation, helping him to keep up with and exceed his peers. Louis is thriving right now, loving his Apprenticeship and positively engaging in his work experience with a local employer.
We require someone who can take an innovative approach to achieving the desired results for our students and who can empower young people to see the importance of qualifications as a foundation to a successful journey in life.
You will be part of an inclusive and collaborative team that, no matter what the challenge may be, are ready to face it head on and are committed to seeing it through.
Learning can look different for everyone; learning is continuous and enabled by the broad curriculum, therapeutic interventions, and the environment the school and staffing team create. It’s only through your awesome teaching that we will create that environment together to ensure the pupils progress towards a happy life that they can enjoy.
