Forest Moor School is a Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) school based at Menwith Hill, just outside of Harrogate. It is a Key Stage 2 - 4 provision with around 130 students on role in beautiful surroundings.

Unconditional Positive Regard is at the centre of what we do and we are an academy that is welcoming, caring, safe, warm and believes that all its pupils can be supported and empowered to succeed.

Whether delivering practical physical health and personal training sessions or leading digital media and eSports learning, you will run dynamic, hands-on activities designed to build team management skills, health and well-being, technical competencies and personal confidence. You will work closely with support staff, guide volunteers and build strong links with external organisations and industry partners to prepare our students for the modern world of work.

Key Responsibilities

• Curriculum & Activity Delivery: Plan and deliver structured, high-quality learning sessions supporting pupils to achieve relevant accreditations and certifications.

• Staff Mentoring & Supervision: Provide direction, supervision and mentoring to support staff, coaches and volunteers to maintain high quality programme delivery and identify team training needs.

• Promotion & Inclusion: Develop promotional plans to ensure equitable access across the school, proactively engaging traditionally under-represented and vulnerable student groups.

• Partnerships & Budgeting: Establish external networks with industry bodies and community organisations, manage allocated budgets and explore potential external funding sources.

What we are looking for:

• Subject Knowledge: Demonstrable subject knowledge and/or qualification in either eSports and/or Physical Education/ Personal Training, or a related area.

• Qualifications: Level 3 qualification (or equivalent) in education or a relevant subject area.

• Tutoring / Teaching Experience: Proven track record in planning, delivering, and coordinating educational or vocational programmes

• Supervisory Skills: Experience supervising, mentoring or supporting support staff or team members.

• Inclusion Focus: Strong understanding of inclusion, the barriers facing young people with SEN/SEMH and approaches to supporting pupils at risk of social exclusion.

• Interpersonal Skills: Excellent communication skills with the ability to network with external bodies and present to working groups

Forest Moor is an SEMH special based at Menwith Hill, just outside of Harrogate. It is a Key Stage 2 – 4 provision with around 96 students on role in beautiful surroundings and now with a lovely building that is continuing to be refurbished to suit the needs of our students.

Our aim is to provide the best possible care and education that we can for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Unconditional Positive Regard is at the centre of what we do and we are creating an academy that is welcoming, caring, safe, warm and believes that all its pupils can be supported and empowered to succeed. We are creating individual and personalised pathways for our students that are built around their varied needs which will help them achieve positive outcomes and prepare them for their onward destinations into continuing education, work or training. In order to achieve this, we have developed a curriculum that provides opportunities for academic progression as well as vocational learning, whilst being engaging, creative, and innovative.

We see strong relationships as the key to our success – with students, parents, carers and the wider community and we ensure that our school is a welcoming safe place for children to learn and prosper. We believe in working closely with our families and carers and welcome their support, but also realise that at times they will need our support too. We work closely with other agencies and schools to make sure we do all we can to make learning and life the best it possibly can be.

Forest Moor and the wider Trust places a huge emphasis on professional development and invests significantly in staff training at all levels. This means that, although experience of working in an SEMH setting would be an advantage, specialist support and training will be provided for outstanding candidates wishing to make the career fulfilling move into special education.
