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.

You will be an enthusiastic professional, with the ability to work with energy and vision to continue to take the Science provision at St. George’s School forward.

You will work with students at St George’s School with medical and behavioural challenges. St George’s is embedding a trauma informed approach to teaching and learning and all staff receive appropriate training to embrace this approach. You may also be required to support individuals requiring medical support and will therefore be required to undertake/update specialist training as necessary.

You will develop your practice to effectively meet the needs of our students, supporting them to progress in line with individual’s 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:

• Be able to demonstrate a high level of personal resilience
• A dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher who can work creatively to enhance the education of students with a range of physical, sensory and learning difficulties as they journey through to adulthood.
• Relevant experience of working with students who have High Needs/SEND in a specialist area, such as SEMH, Medical, Autism, and complex challenging behaviour.
• Self-reflection on the effectiveness of lessons and approaches to teaching.
• A working knowledge of the KS3 National Curriculum for Science and accreditation suitable to the needs of our students.

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.
