What the school offers its staff
About the Post
We are looking to appoint an In School Learning Centre Lead to join our SEN Department at Twynham School
Our In School Learning Centre is a provision within our school site, which provides pupils who display emotional dysregulation or emotional based school avoidance, a safe and attuned learning environment to promote their attendance at school and into lessons.
Pupils can be referred into this provision via their Head of House, or SENCO. Most pupils will use this provision on a short-term basis, with the view to return to lessons as soon as possible. At Twynham School we are clear in our ethos that all pupils deserve access to a broad and balanced curriculum, taught by subject specialists. Some pupils require a higher level of support to develop their emotional regulation to overcome barriers to them accessing our curriculum offer.
Many of the pupils who use the ISLC have social, emotional or mental health challenges, or neurodiversity. However, some pupils may also need to access the ISLC on a short-term basis due to temporary physical impairments (such as broken leg etc) which make access to some areas of the school unsuitable.
What we can offer you
- A supportive, friendly team where staff are united in the drive for success for our students
- An opportunity to work with wonderful children and their families
- An opportunity to make a significant difference in the life chances of vulnerable pupils
- Access to continuing professional development opportunities
- Automatic membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme
- Free on-site parking
- The opportunity to work within Twynham Learning; a progressive multi-academy trust
- The opportunity to work in one of the most beautiful areas of the South Coast
