EYFS Classroom Teacher job summary
Do you want to…
• Make a real difference to some of the most vulnerable primary students in the city?
• Work at a brand new, bespoke SEMH provision?
• Be part of the 45 million pound wider development of the academy across the city?
• Move away from the restrictions of a mainstream pathway?
• Explore your passion for creative teaching and to be allowed the space to develop individuals with a more flexible curriculum than mainstream?
We require an experienced teacher at our South site in Middleton who is passionate about providing the best possible education and care for vulnerable primary aged students. We are searching for an exceptional EYFS teacher, who will be required to work across the primary age range and teach mixed age groups. You will bring skills, approaches and knowledge consistent with effective EYFS provision to our students; despite their age, they will thrive on and indeed need this approach. We envisage this post holder being a role model in EYFS teaching, and to encourage a holistic EYFS approach through the primary phase on site.
Springwell Leeds Academy is a new all-through special school from key stage 1 to key stage 4 and as such, there is great potential for both support, professional development and promotion. All of our sites operate in line with best practice in an SEMH provision: a nurturing, neuro-kind curriculum model with significant investment in therapeutic and wrap-around support for our students.
This position would suit a teacher with a proven track record of exceptional practice, who is able to work with and may have experience of vulnerable pupils with social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH). It would suit an individual who is passionate about making a real difference to students’ life chances and supporting them in achieving their potential in essential life skills, which is a high priority for Springwell Leeds. The ability to be creative and use imaginative flair to engage is essential, along with having resilience, drive and high expectations to inspire students to achieve. We operate four primary classes, of mixed age groups, and you would be working with a small group of students on a wide range of subject areas with specialist input to support planning. You will have the opportunity to work as part of a team with two teaching assistants in your class and a care team in supporting the needs of these young people in your care.
