SEN Teacher - Nore Academy- Full-time

Advert

Nore Academy is a brand-new SEN school that has recently on the Isle of Sheppey.

We opened our doors early in 2025. We will cater for young people aged 11-16 with a primary need of SEMH and other related areas of SEN such as ASD. The first phase of opening, which is ongoing, will see approximately 48 pupils join across KS3 and 4 many of whom may have been out of school for some time and desperately need support from ambitious, driven teaching and support staff who care deeply about pupils’ emotional as well as academic development.

We are looking to recruit a team of SEN teachers who can teach a range of subjects in a largely primary model, however we would especially like to hear from you if you have maths or science as a specialist subject area as it is likely that as the school expands and more teaching staff are recruited, teaching roles will become more specialist. Above all we are looking for highly skilled but also flexible teaching staff who can work collaboratively.

This role will suit experienced SEN practitioners, primary teachers or secondary subject specialists.

All successful candidates will have ambitious expectations for all pupils and a desire to drive high standards and educational outcomes. All successful candidates will also have a willingness to take on new skills and approaches to meet pupils educational and emotional needs.

Who we are looking for:

Qualified teachers or ECTs with experience in SEN, primary or secondary education be that within special or mainstream.

• Candidates with the subject knowledge and classroom practice to teach across both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, over a range of subjects and ideally with maths or science as a specialist subject.
• A commitment to motivating learners while challenging and supporting them to achieve their potential.
• Candidates who are child-centred, organised, resourceful and proactive.
• Candidates with a desire to continually improve own teaching and classroom practice.

This is a full-time, permanent position on teachers’ pay scale open to UQT/ECT/MPS/UPS + SEN allowance.

Are you looking for an exciting new challenge in 2025?

Are you passionate about working with children and young people with SEN needs including SEMH whilst transforming lives, through real opportunities to engage in education and personal development opportunities.
