We are seeking a kind, friendly and dynamic teacher to join the happy and experienced existing team dedicated to the Alternative Resourced Provision (ARP). This is an exciting role in our ever-evolving school family.

The Nest caters for up to nine children with a primary need of social communication. It operates in its self-contained space within the school with its own beautiful garden area, and dedicated colleagues who care deeply about the children they serve.

The successful candidate may be someone with significant experience and qualifications in special education, or somebody with less experience, the eagerness to learn and a strong desire to work with children with complex additional needs and physical communication. Whatever your experience, we will be looking for enthusiasm and a dedication to learn and lead our fantastic children and support staff in the ARP with the guidance of our ambitious SENDCO.

This role is crucial in supporting our aspirational and ‘good’ school to continue to improve, as we look to always provide the very best for our diverse children and families. Building great relationships, a belief in every child’s potential and a strong commitment to providing great teaching and learning opportunities across our school are a must.

Joining our school family means you’ll need to be:

• An enthusiastic member of staff who is forward thinking and able to adapt quickly and easily.
• Someone who puts children at the heart of all you do and is a positive role model.
• Dynamic and fast-paced, finding effective solutions at every turn whilst considering others’ points of view.
• A team player with the ability to work well both individually, as part of a phase and as a whole staff.
• A kind and caring person, enjoying the bustling life of our diverse school family and always looking to recognise our polite and welcoming children.
• An excellent English speaker and writer.
• Efficient and effective in your working practices and able to prioritise well.

In return, our team can offer:

• An optimistic and close-knit senior leadership team with a track record of improving schools.
• A firmly established ethos of caring for one another in our school family.
• A strong middle and senior leadership team who will guide and nurture you through your role.
• A commitment to professional development, and a belief in driving improvement through looking outwards to the world beyond our walls.
• The opportunity to work with a wider professional team of unique schools, all brilliantly supported by a Trust who strongly value the individual school’s character, ethos and approaches.
• A beautiful and spacious school environment filled with love, light and kindness.
• Secure car parking and a staff wellbeing package.

Please visit our school website at www.newtown.reading.sch.uk

Visits and tours are warmly welcomed; please come along to find out more about our lovely school and meet some of the senior leadership team who will happily chat about the opportunities available. Please contact us at workwithus@newtown.reading.sch.uk for more information.

Applications will be considered and interviews arranged upon receipt.
