Job description

Are you a Qualified Teacher of English committed to improving the lives of students and young people?

Are you seeking a role that will enable you to make a positive impact on the lives of students facing challenging circumstances?

If so, the VTC in Sittingbourne is currently looking to recruit a Qualified English Teacher to start immediatley or in September on a permanent contract. Students within VTC may be facing a variety of challenges that mean they have not had successful experiences within mainstream schools. They may have damaged or low self-esteem, social and emotional problems, or additional special educational needs. As a result, they may not be working at an age-appropriate educational level.

As a Teacher at VTC, you will work to mentor students and support them to maximise their progress achievement and potential. You will have Form Tutor responsibility for KS3/4 pupils and be able to teach English across these phases.

Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure, and you will be working in a school with a clear ethos, where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible. Whilst previous experience of working in an SEN/SEMH environment would be desirable, excellent teaching skills and the right motivation, personal qualities and levels of resilience are just as important. We would also value highly any SENCo experience you may be able to bring to the role. Your SENCo duties would primarily be an advisory role and would be supported by the SENCo administrative assistant.

Educated to Qualified Teacher Status or QTLS, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, and have an innovative, inclusive style of teaching, motivated by helping every student to reach their potential.
