What skills and experience we're looking for
Located in the heart of Portsmouth, The Flying Bull Academy is proud of its caring ethos, encouraging and supporting all children to achieve their full potential. The academy is a positive and active place to work and we are looking to appoint a Class Teacher to join our dedicated team. You will be working within our new, attractive, purpose-built centre to support children aged between five and nine who have a range of complex needs including social, emotional and mental health difficulties. We believe that success here is built on strong relationships between everyone involved in the academy.
The successful candidate will be a great teacher who is a passionate classroom practitioner with high expectations of children´s achievement and behaviour and has the ability to adapt learning to meet the needs of the children. You will have experience and understanding of learners with complex SEMH needs and demonstrate a deep understanding of positive behaviour for learning skills and approaches, including PACE.
You will have the skills to create a stimulating and purposeful learning environment, ensuring all learners are achieving their best. You will have a detailed knowledge of the primary curriculum and have experience of personalising learning to meet outcomes and targets identified on Educational Health and Care Plans and Personal Support Plans. Social and emotional work forms an important part of the curriculum and so you will need to demonstrate an ability to incorporate this into your practice.
The successful candidate will understand the importance of trusting relationships when working with vulnerable children who may have been through considerable trauma. You will have a calm and positive approach when dealing with distressed behaviour and have the experience and resilience to help children overcome their own personal barriers.
With a positive attitude, resilience, excellent interpersonal skills and a hard-working attitude, you will be committed to working as part of a team and contribute to the wider aspects of school life and in partnership with parents/carers, governors and the local community.
What the school offers its staff
In return, you will be part of the University of Chichester Academy Trust, bringing you added benefits and opportunities. You will find that each of our Academies has a unique identity, but a shared belief in creating a positive and enriching environment, where all staff feel valued.
