Special Unit Lead Teacher job summary

In partnership with the local authority, Blackthorn Primary School will be opening a special unit provision from the 1st September 2021 that will support EYFS and KS1 children who have an EHCP where Social, Emotional, Mental Health is the prime areas needing support. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and inspirational individual to join our senior leadership team, and have an instrumental role in establishing this brand-new provision for vulnerable children.

Do you have patience and can you stay positive in the face of adversity? Can you empathise with the feelings of children and young people in crisis and help them reframe their thoughts and behaviours? Do you want to change lives?

Working with children who have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs is as demanding as it is rewarding, and if challenge and continuous learning whet your appetite, then you have a great opportunity to gain fulfilment and progress in your professional development. A deep concern for and understanding of children and young people and a desire to lead and motivate staff will be essential. A commitment to safeguarding is also paramount.

We are looking to recruit a talented lead teacher to join us in delivering a broad and balanced curriculum. The nature of our school means that we tailor learning to the individual needs of our children and as such, we seek out teachers who are creative, flexible and highly organised. We are open to any preferred specialism.

Commitment to safeguarding

Nothing is more important than keeping all our children safe, especially the most vulnerable. The NPAT Partnership is fully committed to ensuring that children with SEND, those eligible for Pupil Premium funding
and other vulnerable groups are able to achieve as highly as possible. Schools within the partnership will have the most rigorous and updated procedures and policies which help keep children in our care safe. We will ensure that all vulnerable groups of children achieve highly, when compared to their peers nationally.
