The community of St George’s empowers everyone to feel safe, valued and welcome.

We work towards our aspirations and celebrate our personal achievements. We learn to make choices that shape our future; enabling us to have our voices heard, be respected, develop resilience and independence to take our place in society.

St George’s School is expanding

St George’s is a secondary special school on the Isle of Wight providing education for students with severe and complex needs.

In September 2024 we opened a satellite provision in East Cowes for young people with SEMH needs, where we have embedded trauma informed practice and a therapeutic classrooms approach to support them on their academic journey.

The provision has been incredibly successful, and we have welcomed a new, additional cohort of young people in September 2025.

We are now looking to recruit to the following post:

Classroom Teacher

Salary – UQT/MPS/UPS + SEN POINT

Hours per week – Full-time, 32.5 hours per week, 52 weeks per year

The successful candidate will be responsible for the delivery of high quality inclusive teaching, including maintenance of all subject curriculum related documentation, including student progress, attainment and accreditation.

The post will require elements of delivering maths, English, functional skills and life skills alongside promoting independence and preparation for adulthood.

You will develop your practice to effectively meet the needs of our students, supporting them to progress in line with school expectations, or exceed them with additional support. You will develop positive working relationships, sharing good practice across school, and take a lead in identifying areas for your own professional development through your reflective practice.

What you can offer us:

• A dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher who can work creatively to enhance the education of students with a range of SEMH needs, as they journey through to adulthood.
• Relevant experience and understanding of SEMH students who may present with challenging behaviour is essential.
• Self-reflection on the effectiveness of lessons and approaches to teaching.

In return we can offer:

• Wonderful students.
• The opportunity to be part of an adaptable, committed and skilled staff team.
• A creative learning environment, timetable and curriculum.
• A wide range of training opportunities for career development.

We are committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and expect all our staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check is required for the successful applicant.
