What skills and experience we're looking for

At Portland School, we are dedicated to providing exceptional learning and experiences to pupils with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health Difficulties (SEMHD). Our mission is to empower young minds and nurture futures, ensuring that every student reaches their full potential.

We are a split site school with a primary provision at Trent Vale and secondary provision at Blythe Bridge. We have an amazing staff team who work tirelessly to support approximately 100 pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs.

At the heart of our school are a set of shared values where our entire school community are supported to develop a sense of Respect, Responsibility, Belonging, Independence, show a Team Approach and look after their own Mental Toughness.

We are seeking to employ an experienced and highly professional teacher to work at our Blythe Bridge site, teaching pupils with a range of SEMH needs. The teacher should be familiar and confident with adaptive teaching, a hands-on approach to learning and be self-motivated to reach learners of all abilities within the classroom. We are looking for a teacher with experience at upper Key Stage 2 or Key Stage 3, preferably.

You would work alongside a supportive, dedicated and enthusiastic staff team who are committed to delivering the best outcomes for our pupils. Whilst they will be predominantly based at our Blythe Bridge site, there may be times where they will be asked to support pupils at our Trent Vale site or attend training there.
