At Insignis Academy Trust we are recruiting to a number of Assistant Teacher posts for the Inclusion Unit at The Kingsbrook School. Opened in September 2022 to 180 year 7 students, the school will grow by each year of entry until full in 2027-28, and so new members of the team are required to support our next cohort. Located at the heart of the Kingsbrook Estate in Aylesbury, the school boasts state of the art facilities across the mainstream school and a purpose built Inclusion Unit for children with additional Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
The post is based at the Inclusion Unit (The ARC) at The Kingsbrook School, which is a specialist Inclusion Unit catering for young people with Education Health Care Plans and who have SEMH as their primary need. There are 20 students currently placed in The ARC, a further 4-6 will be placed each academic year until the provision reaches its maximum capacity of 32.
Applicants should also have an excellent working knowledge of working in a school environment or with children and an ability to build effective relationships with students and parents. Previous experience of special school and/or supporting students who have experienced disruption to attachment/trauma and/or SEMH needs is desirable.
For any enquiries relating to the position please contact the Trust’s Human Resources Team, either by email recruitment@insignis.org.uk or by telephone 01296 744351, who will be happy to help.
