Secondary Teacher x 2 job summary
What We Are Looking For
The school has a dynamic and varied pupil base and we are looking to appoint two teachers to join our team to provide our young people with exceptional educational opportunities. We wish to appoint outstanding teachers who can demonstrate a desire to work within SEND, and, most importantly, at Alderman Knight. Although special school experience is not essential, candidates will need to demonstrate why they want to work in this area. We want staff with a passion and flair for teaching children with a range of needs and are committed to becoming positive, active and supportive members of the school community.
The Role
The school is continuing to grow and it is planned that the number on roll will increase to 208 by September 2021. Therefore we need to increase our teaching capacity. At this time we need to provide additional teaching capacity in IT, Maths, Science, Art and DT.
We are currently looking for two teachers who can help fill these gaps. At our school all teachers often have to teach more than one subject so we would welcome applications from teachers who can offer at least two of these subjects and who would be confident to teach them across KS3 and KS4. Pupils in KS3 and KS4 are grouped according to need as well as age so there are some mixed aged groups. Pupils are then taught within these tutor groups and will predominantly follow a mainstream model being taught by specialist teachers in specialist rooms.
As a secondary teacher at Alderman Knight, you must have an excellent knowledge and understanding of the National Curriculum. You will also have the ability to differentiate learning experiences to match the needs of the individual and enable all pupils to enjoy their learning and make outstanding progress.
