Further details about the role

The community of St George’s empowers everyone to feel safe, valued and welcome.

We work towards our aspirations and celebrate our personal achievements. We learn to make choices that shape our future; enabling us to have our voices heard, be respected, develop resilience and independence to take our place in society.

St George’s School is expanding

St George’s is a secondary special school on the Isle of Wight providing education for students with severe and complex needs.

In September 2024 we opened a satellite provision for young people with SEMH needs, St George’s Studio in East Cowes, where we have been embedding trauma informed practice, including the therapeutic classrooms approach.

This is a very exciting time and the following teaching position is open to application if you are interested in joining us on our journey:

The successful candidate will be responsible for the delivery of high quality inclusive teaching, including maintenance of all subject curriculum related documentation, including student progress, attainment and accreditation.

The post will require elements of delivering maths, English, functional skills and life skills alongside promoting independence and preparation for adulthood. It will also include aspects of creative and artistic subjects, and therefore the ideal candidate will have a broad range of teaching experience, but with a particular interest in Arts and Craft.

You will develop your practice to effectively meet the needs of our students, supporting them to progress in line with school expectations, or exceed them with additional support. You will develop positive working relationships, sharing good practice across school, and take a lead in identifying areas for your own professional development through your reflective practice.

We are committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and expect all our staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check is required for the successful applicant.
