Job description

Elementa are recruiting for an able English Teacher to work at this special school & PRU based in Swindon. The school provides education across their sites for learners that have ASD/ASC (Autism), SEMH, and other complex needs, as well as for children that have been permanently excluded from school. Often, all of their children display challenging behaviors.

Despite the challenges their learners face, the school has high expectations and nurtures and supports them. The headteacher continues a long-standing approach to offer outstanding opportunities for learners while maintaining a highly positive, friendly, and welcoming work environment for colleagues.

Applicants with Team Teach training or other positive behavior management training may have an advantage; however, free training will be provided for the successful applicant. The school operates on a transparent and collaborative basis between staff and the senior leadership team.

Ideas are shared, and everyone has the opportunity to enhance the working environment and student opportunities. Overall, this is a highly positive environment for both staff and students.

If you are a skilled English Teacher seeking an opportunity to make a clear difference to students while working alongside a strong teaching and support staff team, this is the role for you.

Applicants should have good previous SEND experience and knowledge, particularly in SEMH and ASD/ASC, and how to adapt the education approach to ensure high-quality learning. Non-subject specialist teachers can be considered if they have good previous English teaching experience and can engage learners and deliver high-quality lessons.

To be considered for supply opportunities, you must:

1. Have good previous SEND experience
2. Be committed to the school's policies and procedures
3. Display resilience and tenacity
4. Be fully invested in supporting students' education and future opportunities

Elementa will manage all applicants, screening their suitability for the school. We are not a supply agency but a school services and recruiting partner, managing candidate vetting, compliance, and payroll.

Applicants considered after pre-screening will need to complete the registration process for Elementa, including vetting, background checks, and application for an Enhanced DBS Disclosure (which may be chargeable at £62.70 unless you have a current DBS on the update service).

If you have the relevant skills and experience, please apply with your full up-to-date CV. All applicants will be promptly responded to.

This role is not suitable for applicants who:

• Are not currently based in the UK
• Do not have UK SEND teaching experience
• Require sponsorship for the right to work in the UK

Elementa offers weekly pay, a PAYE contract, and a range of free or discounted training including Safeguarding, Behavior, Team Teach, SEND, Makaton, and Thrive. Regular welfare contact and support from a dedicated candidate manager are also provided.
