We are passionate about the importance of excellent teaching and strongly believe in the power of education to transform lives. Therefore we are seeking a teacher who will always aim to inspire and enthuse students through their teaching.
The successful candidate will have experience in teaching English and maths to children with special educational needs. We welcome applications from those with a background in primary education or in special schools.
You will:
- be, or have the potential to become, an excellent classroom practitioner;
- be committed to working in a close, collaborative team environment within the SEND Department, as well as working closely with colleagues across the College;
- be able to use a strong pedagogical understanding to successfully deliver the curriculum;
- be enthusiastic about giving young people the best possible start in life.
