What skills and experience we're looking for
This part-time role is ideal for balancing with any other commitments you may have
For the academic year 2024/25, this role will be based in the Rockpool, which is our 8 place Targeted Mainstream Provision (TMP) for children with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) for the primary need of Social, Emotional and Mental Health.
The provision for each child is tailored to their individual needs, with academic input, work on their EHCP targets, and addressing the gaps in their Boxall profile. Each bespoke timetable will ensure that gaps in each child’s development will be reduced and that their strengths and abilities are nurtured and allowed to flourish within a small, safe environment.
We also support children in moving between the Rockpool and the relevant mainstream class, so that our children can develop friendships with their peers and gradually increase the time spent with their year group cohort.
About you
We are looking for a special type of teacher to support our children. We want someone who has the passion and patience needed to provide a calm, nurturing and structured environment so that our children feel safe and supported.
Experience of working with children with high level special educational needs, particularly in relation to social, emotional and mental health, would be highly beneficial but training in restorative practice, de-escalation, nurture approaches, and physical intervention will be provided.
The successful candidate will need to be flexible and resilient and have excellent communication skills enabling them to build positive relationships with pupils and work effectively with a team of support staff.
We would strongly encourage applicants to arrange to either visit or speak to the school before applying to gain a fuller picture of the challenges and rewards offered by this post.
What the school offers its staff
We can offer you:
- Delightful children who respond to patience and care.
- A staff culture which allows new members to thrive and develop
- Professional development opportunities linked to nurture and SEND.
