SEND Class Teacher job summary
Do you want to be part of an exciting new SEND Unit for pupils with communication and interaction, namely autism?
Governors are looking to appoint a teacher in order to deliver high quality lessons to meet the educational needs of all pupils ensuring outstanding teaching and learning.
As part of Leicestershire County Council’s commitment to create school places for children with SEND, Thorpe Acre Junior School will be opening a new 10 place provision on the school campus for children with communication and interaction needs, namely autism.
The unit is due to open in September 2020, however this post will be available from 20th April (or as reasonably practical) to provide the successful candidates with the opportunity to work with SEND pupils in the mainstream school and become familiar with the school’s ethos, vision, policy and practice prior to the new unit opening.
“Pupils achieve well and make good progress because teaching is consistently good… Pupils’ behaviour is typically good, both in the classroom and around the school. This is a major factor in the good progress pupils make in lessons.” (Ofsted).
Commitment to safeguarding
Thorpe Acre Junior School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and it is expected that staff at the school share this commitment. This post is eligible for a DBS check under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) (i.e. it involves certain activities in relation to children and/or adults) and is defined as regulated activity under Part 1 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006. Therefore a DBS enhanced check for a regulated activity (including a barred list check) is an essential requirement.
