Classroom Teacher job summary

The role in a nutshell

As a teacher within the Trust, you will have the opportunity to reach out and be a mentor and a role model for children who need the guidance and support that your qualifications and experience will bring to the role. 

 

Classrooms and teachers are learning how to collaborate with our children to secure the very best outcomes they deserve by creating beautiful and important work that they can share with peers and their families. 

 

Suppose nothing makes you happier and more fulfilled than seeing children discover their passion, and experience success in learning, or come to understand the importance of perseverance. You will bring a deep love of learning and pass that knowledge and passion onto our children every day. 

 

Children with additional needs deserve to be treated the same as all other groups of children. They deserve to have the same opportunities and learn the things that their mainstream peers learn. Our specialist school is seeking a qualified teacher who cares about unique children, is keen to see them doing well, but who will push their limits to succeed. 

 

 

The candidate

The ideal candidate will be: 

·     Passionate about complex children and committed to meeting their personal needs. 

·     Committed to school improvement and raising levels of pupil achievement 

·     A reflective practitioner, with the ability to plan strategically 

·     Someone who can demonstrate excellent organisational, communication and inter-personal skills with colleagues and parents/carers 

·     Will share and support the academy’s ethos, and have energy and commitment to all aspects of academy life 

·     Focused on high expectations of learning and behaviour 

·     Committed to inclusion, and have a caring and adaptable approach in supporting children of all abilities 

·     A good team player and committed to the wider life of the academy

·     A suitably qualified teacher, ideally with experience of special educational needs. 

 

You will help children and young people learn and develop the skills and character required to foster confidence, curiosity, creativity and empathy. We believe they will progress with the spirit and character necessary to embrace life’s challenges. 

We welcome applications from everyone who believes they meet the expectations of the role regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, or disability. To ensure that our composition of our colleagues is representative of the communities we serve, applications from groups who are currently under-represented in education including people with disabilities and people from minority ethnic backgrounds are particularly encouraged.

 

About your benefits

The position attracts an excellent remuneration package including a competitive salary, pension scheme, health assured programme with access to mental health, financial and family support (EAP) and the Cycle Scheme salary sacrifice. You will also receive Mental Health First Aid Training.

We prioritise your professional growth with annual training and development opportunities, training bursaries are available upon request.
