This post is integral to our school and plays an important role in enhancing the opportunities for young people. This post would suit a passionate and motivated colleague who is experienced in working successfully with children with a range of social, emotional and mental health needs to ensure their success.

As a teacher you will need to share our commitment, vision and values. Our collection of schools is not only changing but also growing. As a result, this could lead to further progression opportunities within our schools over time.

The successful candidate will be able to engage and enthuse our pupils and work collaboratively within a diverse team of professionals from across the education and wider care landscape. Our mantra “we never give up” and “great today, better tomorrow” underpins our approach to working with pupils and guides our values. This is a fundamental part of the Respect Collaboration of Schools vision so it is important that the successful candidate can fully embrace and embody this philosophy.

• A strong commitment to your continuing professional development and training opportunities
• Being part of a highly regarded, highly supportive and ambitious school/federation
• Regular well-being support
• A supportive environment where your talents will be encouraged, nurtured and rewarded 

We firmly believe in giving pupils the tools to manage their own attitudes to their education and learning experiences, progress and behaviour. We provide positive reference points for pupils to reflect upon and grow from. We believe in establishing strong and supportive relationships with parents and carers, recognising the power of a ‘team around the child’ as another important factor in pupils’ success during their time with us.
