Date: January 2023
Due to the expansion of our service, an opportunity has arisen at Wandsworth Hospital and Home Tuition Service (HHTS) for a suitably qualified and experienced Humanities/English Teacher to join our team in delivering high quality teaching across all sectors of our ‘Outstanding’ provision.
We require an enthusiastic and dynamic teacher who would like to broaden their experience in working with vulnerable young people in a Hospital Schools/medical PRU and within the community.
Our Service
HHTS is comprised of the St George’s Hospital classroom and four classrooms within the CAMHS Campus at Springfield University Hospital; Tooting- Aquarius Acute Adolescent Psychiatric Unit, Wisteria Adolescent Eating Disorders Unit and Corner House National Deaf Unit. The Service also supports children with medical needs and mental health issues in their homes, mainstream schools and local community.
Ofsted rated HHTS as ‘Outstanding’ once again in 2018. We are committed to maximising access to education for children and young people who have medical needs or mental health issues that result in inpatient admission or recurring absences from school.
About the Role
Under the guidance of the senior leadership team, you will be required to organise, deliver and evaluate learning for children and young people who are inpatients in either hospital, or are too unwell to attend school. Our students present with a range of educational needs and abilities, including those with AEN and very high levels of achievement. The range of children require teachers with excellent subject knowledge and a love of their subject. This role incorporates a balance of class teaching in the hospital classrooms and 1:1 teaching in the community. The successful candidate will be supported by both our current part time Humanities teacher and our English Lead teacher.
Our well-resourced provision is staffed with highly qualified and innovative teachers and support staff, and you will work in partnership with the multidisciplinary team within the hospital. You must be willing to work flexibly in a challenging yet rewarding, supportive and creative environment.
We offer:
- The opportunity to work in a unique, dynamic, successful and forward-facing service; supported by talented committed and conscientious colleagues.
- High levels of support, supervision and personalised continued professional development while ensuring teachers have professional autonomy in their role.
- An excellent environment in which to further develop your skills with innovative opportunities for professional development
We welcome applications from teachers who have the following:
- a proven ability to teach Humanities subjects, including supporting students at A Level
- experience of successful outcomes for pupils with SEN and high achieving students
- an outstanding teaching record
- the ability to plan and deliver outstanding teaching and learning for both individuals and small groups with high quality outcomes for all pupils
- the ability to liaise effectively with stakeholders (schools, health, other agencies and parents)
- an ability to teach English as a second subject
Experience of working with students with mental health needs would be of added benefit.
