Help our students believe in what is possible

This is an exciting time to join St Piers College.

Building on strong foundations, we are continuing to develop our specialist provision and are looking for an outstanding Subject Tutor in Art, Creative Arts, Design or a related area to be part of the next stage of our journey.

At St Piers, education does not work in isolation. Our tutors work alongside therapy, health and residential colleagues as part of a skilled multidisciplinary team, creating personalised learning experiences which enable students with SEND and complex needs to achieve, develop their independence and prepare for adulthood.

We are looking for someone who shares our belief that every student can achieve, thrive and succeed.

About the role

As a Subject Tutor, you will use your creativity, subject expertise and teaching skills to create meaningful and ambitious learning experiences for our students.

You will:

• plan and deliver engaging, personalised and high-quality teaching;
• teach Art, Creative Arts, Design or a related subject area, alongside wider learning linked to independence, community inclusion, employment, health and wellbeing;
• deliver accredited learning within the College's qualification framework;
• assess and monitor students' progress from their individual starting points;
• contribute to EHCP targets, reviews and reporting;

You will have a relevant qualification in Art, Creative Arts, Design or a related subject area, together with a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training, QTS, Certificate in Education or equivalent teaching qualification, or be working towards one.

• experience of planning and delivering learning for students with SEND;
• strong lesson planning, assessment and progress-tracking skills;
• the ability to adapt teaching creatively around individual needs;
• high expectations for students' learning and achievement;
• effective communication and collaborative working;
• the confidence to support and direct colleagues within the learning environment; and
• a genuine commitment to students' wellbeing, independence and success.

Experience of autism, neurodivergence, PMLD or complex learning needs would be particularly valuable.

Above all, we are looking for someone who is patient, adaptable, creative and ambitious for our students.
