ARB Teacher and Deputy SENDCo (Maternity Leave) job summary

Are you a skilled and passionate teacher of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities?

Our ARB is a 15 place specialist provision for children aged 4-11 with a range of SEND needs. Our ARB is an integral part of our school community and we are seeking a fantastic teacher to be able to cover the maternity leave of our current ARB lead. This is a dual role, and the postholder will also be our Deputy SENDCo, working closely with our Assistant Head and Inclusion Lead to lead SEND across our school.

If you have a passion for SEND, are motivated to provide the very best learning opportunities for our children, and are able to lead our ARB with love and laughter, then we would love an application from you.

This is a full-time vacancy to cover for the maternity leave of the current postholder and is, therefore, a fixed term contract.

Beacon is a primary school and nursery for children aged 3 to 11 years old with an Area Resource Base for pupils from 4 years old. We hope that children will join us from the age of 3, when they can enjoy our fantastic outdoor Nursery, and then thrive on the provision in each year group up to Year 6. It is at the end of Year 6 that we say goodbye to our confident, well-rounded young people, as they move on to secondary school equipped with skills which will take them successfully forward into the next stage of their education and indeed, will take them on into their longer-term futures.

We have three key values at Beacon Academy: Be Brilliant, Be Brave, Believe. These values work in partnership with our Trust Core Shared Values and our Trust Philosophy of ‘work hard, be honest & help others’. Our three school key values underpin everything we do. We want every child and every member of our community to hold these values close at all times. These values will, we are sure, enable every child and member of our school community to "Shine Brightly".

We are accredited as a one of only 16 primary Talk for Writing Training Centres across the UK that are recognised for their high-quality teaching of reading and writing.
