Inspire Confidence. Unlock Potential. Give Every Pupil a Voice.
Are you an enthusiastic and passionate English Teacher who believes that every young person can succeed when given the right support, relationships and opportunities?
Do you want to teach English in a setting where you can genuinely get to know your pupils, understand how they learn and see the difference you make every day?
SEND Inclusion Support is recruiting on behalf of a specialist independent school for an inspiring English Teacher to join a dedicated team.
This is more than an opportunity to deliver English lessons. It is an opportunity to help young people rediscover their confidence, develop their voice and experience success in education.
About the School
Our client is an independent specialist primary and secondary school supporting children and young people aged 7-16.
Pupils have a range of additional needs, including:
- Autism
- Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs (SEMH)
- Anxiety and Mental Health Needs
- Emotionally Based School Non-Attendance (EBSNA)
The school supports pupils with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) who may have struggled to access mainstream education, lost confidence in their abilities, or found the pace and expectations of mainstream schooling challenging.
Many pupils have experienced barriers to education or periods away from school. The school's approach focuses on building positive relationships, creating a nurturing environment and helping pupils re-engage with learning.
With small class sizes and a specialist, personalised approach, staff are able to focus on individual needs and celebrate progress at every stage.
