What skills and experience we’re looking for
Due to the current post holder moving to a promoted post, we are looking to appoint an experienced, resilient, patient and enthusiastic English Teacher to lead the delivery of English to GCSE and develop literacy across the school. Other responsibilities will be based on school need and the skills and experience of the successful candidate.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is looking for a new challenge and has a flexible approach, to join a passionate, caring and committed team at The Rubicon Centre.
You will have a track record in raising standards and accountability for the performance of a significant cohort of young people. You will be a confident and effective teacher who can deliver exciting and challenging lessons to classes of up to six students. You will have an empathetic approach, a passion for supporting children with SEMH and SEND and a proven ability to manage challenging behaviour.
Many of our pupils are below national age-related literacy and numeracy levels when they arrive. Your ability to engage children with SEMH and SEND will be essential and understanding of Trauma informed practice would be a distinct advantage.
You will:
* Be able to teach and plan within a team
* Be adaptable and proactive; you must be able to react to the events the day could throw at you!
* Have demonstrated ability to scaffold and differentiate learning within small group settings
* Ensure students in your care make good progress
* Be committed to supporting and raising the aspirations of children with SEMH requirements in a small setting
* Have the flexibility to teach and plan non-core subjects
* As a Key Tutor, build positive and productive relationships with students, families and other agencies
We are passionate about supporting our students to overcome barriers in learning and life. For children and young people facing barriers to learning through circumstance, learning difficulties and challenging needs, the level of care and education must go above and beyond, and that’s what The Rubicon Centre Team aim to provide.
What the school offers its staff
The School offers all employees training and support with the chance to develop skills working with students with social, emotional needs. Employees also benefit from NYC’s Vivup discount Scheme including access to tax free childcare vouchers.
Commitment to safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. A Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate will be required for all posts. This post will be subject to enhanced checks as part of our Safeguarding Duties.
Equality, diversity and inclusion
