Job introduction

The Hive Centre is the third site of Hill Park School. It is a provision for Secondary aged autistic students who have high anxiety, which prevents them accessing onsite provisions such as mainstream secondary schools or facilities co-located at mainstream secondary schools.

Many will have been home educated or accessed tutoring packages and need bespoke transition to a full time onsite model. Students at The Hive will be able to access an age related curriculum and achieve GCSE’s and other Secondary accreditations.

About the role

We are looking to recruit a full time teacher, with the ability to teach an upper Key Stage 2 and KS3 curriculum. Our Y7 classes are run on a ‘primary model’, with students staying with their teacher and TA all day, and accessing specialist rooms with them.

The Hive Centre would be a great place for you to work if you:

• are reflective, flexible and resilient and enjoy working on your practice
• are interested in individualised learning with a holistic perspective that encompasses physical, sensory and behaviour development as well as curriculum learning
• have experience of teaching students working at GCSE level
• have SEND and/or specialist school experience
• are able to work in a less formal model of Secondary education

We encourage interested candidates to visit The Hive, so please contact the school office to arrange an informal visit/ conversation with the Head of Site Linda Williams.

We take safeguarding and child protection seriously and all posts at Hill Park School are subject to a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Certificate.

Please apply using our application form and return via email at:
