Secondary Nurture Teacher - Full-time - Special Needs Position

Secondary Nurture Class Teacher

Are you a Class Teacher committed to improving the lives of children and young people? We are looking for an amazing teacher to join our fantastic team at Heath Farm School.

Who are we looking for?

As a Secondary Nurture Class Teacher, you will take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of the school curriculum in a way that maximises children’s achievement and ability to develop.

This is a great opportunity for a Teacher who wants to spend less time on paperwork and more time developing creative learning opportunities for children with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure, and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.

This role is suitable for both a primary teacher wanting to move into secondary but keeping the primary model of overseeing and leading the majority of teaching for that group (except for specialist subjects) OR for a secondary teacher interested in following a primary philosophy of overseeing a single classes curriculum and building fantastic, lasting relationships with a small group of children. When it comes to looking after our children, we never settle for second best.

We are looking for a Class Teacher experienced in teaching a range of subjects and who shares our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK to be happy and to make their way in the world.

Whilst previous experience of working in an SEN/ASC environment would be desirable, excellent teaching skills and the right motivation, personal qualities and levels of resilience are just as important. Educated to degree level and of Qualified Teacher Status, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, and have an innovative style of teaching, motivated by helping every child to reach their potential.

What we can offer you:

• A commitment to support you in developing new skills through a wide range of professional development opportunities and experiences
• The opportunity to make a huge contribution to the education and lives of children who respond very positively to high quality teaching.
• A friendly and inclusive working environment

How to Apply:

Visits to the school are strongly recommended and we are certain that you will be even keener to apply once you see the fabulous and caring approach, we take with our students along with our excellent and modern site.
