Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check, including barred list information, as this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

As part of safer recruitment practices and in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), an online search will be completed for all shortlisted candidates.

All gaps in employment will be explored, and references will be sought prior to interview wherever possible. Only completed application forms will be accepted, CV’s cannot be considered.

We uphold rigorous safeguarding procedures throughout recruitment, selection and induction, consistent with the expectations set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education.

Safeguarding training is mandatory for all employees and will form part of your induction and ongoing CPD.

We are looking for a highly motivated and inspirational individual to join our staff team at South Staffordshire College. The 'CCSL' provision is part of the 'Discrete' SEND provision which is delivered across 4 of our campus within the mainstream settings.

This allows us to provide a high quality, fully inclusive learning environment for learners with a wide variety of learning difficulties and/or disabilities as a pre-vocational course offer, assisting their transition into vocational areas within the college.

We wish to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated qualified teacher who can work effectively and imaginatively to provide first class learning experiences for our learners and assist with their preparation for adulthood. We wish to recruit and develop a highly skilled teacher that will work independently as well as within a team to inspire our learners.

Our provision focuses on delivering wholly personalised study programmes, which are designed to support each one of our learners to achieve the best possible outcomes. This ranges from RARPA to formal qualifications.

You need to be a strong team player with a real desire to help young adults with learning difficulties and disabilities to realise their potential - experience of working with learners with learning disabilities and/or disabilities, knowledge of the SEND reforms and the Education Health Care Plans process will be an advantage.

You will be trained/developed on all the above as part of working and collaborating with the direct teaching team as well as business support teams involved with working with young people with SEND.

Interviews anticipated to be held: Wednesday 25th November 2026

What you can expect from us - we care about your wellbeing so have several activities all year that provide support. However, time off is also important. We have a generous holiday scheme, the usual Bank Holidays, an additional 5 days at Christmas and 2 'ME' days (where you can have a day off work and do whatever makes you happy) as well as an additional day on campus spent on wellbeing. We have a range of benefits available to all staff including paid time off for emergencies (designed to support carers) and all our policies are enhanced further than statutory requirements. The College also contributes to your pension at a minimum of 17.9% (we contribute more for people in the Local Government Pension Scheme).
