Job description

Maths Teacher, SEN School

Location: Loughborough

Salary: Up to £37,440 dependent on experience

Local SEN Specialist school is seeking an experienced Maths teacher to join their team on a permanent basis.

A specialist SEMH school, which provides high-quality, therapeutic and child-centred education to pupils from 7 to 17 years of age, this school is a vibrant, joyful and nurturing community.

Within this role you will be primarily a teacher of children before a teacher of Maths. Knowing the child, building professional, nurturing and positive relationships and motivating students will all be key to your success.

The school's English curricula span Entry Level, Functional Skills, Key stage 3 and GCSE. No matter the accreditation which is best for the child to pursue, they maintain high aspirations for the children regardless of their learning journey and don't underestimate the importance of qualifications to provide the children with life chances and opportunities.

You will inspire children, creating a sense of awe and wonder and making subjects and lessons real and relevant to them. You will plan exciting and engaging learning opportunities which challenge and push students, whether they are working on the very basics or they have a special talent or passion for Mathematics.

The children require very special teachers who are able to manage some complex and challenging behaviours. The children require lots of attention, the right sort of communication, consistency and flexibility in equal measure, and a non-judgemental approach.

You will be part of the decision making that drives the school, provides outcomes for children and advocates for every child. Your input in developing both the academic curriculum and the opportunities in the extra-curricular offer will be welcomed - bringing your own interests and passions to the table.

The children come from a wide range of backgrounds, but all have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Many will also have other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) such as Autism, ADHD, and communication difficulties.

The children are at the centre of decision making, ensuring that education and therapy professionals, parents/carers, local authority teams and, most importantly, the students can work together to secure outstanding outcomes for all.

To be successful in your application you will have:

1. QTS qualification
2. Ideally an English specialism, but this is not essential
3. Ideally previous experience working with SEN children
4. Enhanced DBS on the update service, or be willing to apply for one

In return you will be offered:

• Staff laptop and mobile phone
• Competitive salary
• Extensive training and professional qualification opportunities
• Small class sizes with specialist TA support
• The chance to be part of an expanding, national organisation that recognises skill, effort and potential and grows its own leadership teams
• Enhanced occupational sickness scheme
• Flexible pension
• Regular therapeutic and supportive supervision
• Employee benefit service with access to wellbeing services, salary sacrifice schemes, high street vouchers, money off eating-out and takeaways
• Life assurance scheme.
• Engagement and retention budgets for every staff member.
• Cashback for various medical appointments & treatments including optical and dental with MediCash.
• Win up to £150 per month in our REACH awards.
• Receive £200 (2 years), £400 (5 years) and £600 (10 years) service awards, plus up to £500 special recognition award for outstanding practice.
