The successful applicants should:
- Be able to work within a team to create and implement bespoke learning pathways for our students aligning with our school Curriculum
- Be willing and able to plan, deliver, and report using the settings's policies and procedures, including using online platform/s
- Be able to deliver high quality teaching at the home of students and/or online, and in centre when required
- Always think ahead to work towards encouraging students to move through a transition plan and work towards on-site education
- Have exceptional behaviour management skills
- Have exceptional reporting skills
- Be flexible in all aspects of teaching and learning and pastoral/ behaviour
- Be organised and able to have lessons planned and resourced prior to attending any sessions
- Have experience and an understanding of the needs of children with SEN, and a willingness to adapt as necessary and provide an individualised experience for every single child
- Adhere to the ethos of our school at all times and promote the school positively at all times
