St Mary’s is a popular and successful residential special school and college for pupils / students aged 5 to 19 with speech, language and communication needs, learning difficulties and other associated SEND.
We are looking to appoint a number of enthusiastic, flexible and innovative teachers as a result of a continuing increase in pupil numbers at our school.
We welcome applications from highly successful and experienced primary, secondary, mainstream or special school teachers. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates who have successfully worked with children with SEND in their current or previous experience. One of our available positions requires experience of teaching Btec qualifications. Another requires an ability to teach and potentially lead Computing. Therefore, we are particularly keen to hear from candidates with experience in these aspects. Other posts available require more general experience, but we ask candidates to please identify aspects of particular strength and successful experience when applying.
We would like to appoint teachers who are able to adapt well to new challenges and are committed to raising achievement and who have the ability to demonstrate outstanding practice and high ambition for our pupils and students. The successful candidates will be especially skilled in differentiating planning, implementing additional support programs to meet pupils’ / students’ specific needs and who are able to manage a support staff team.
St Mary’s is a great school to work in. We can offer a very high-quality learning environment, a friendly and welcoming staff team, including an onsite therapy team, access to excellent resources and our pupils/students are a delight to work with!
The successful candidates will demonstrate:
1. An understanding & interest in SEND, with experience in working with pupils / students requiring additional support in accessing the curriculum;
2. The ability to ensure aspirational pupil / student progress for all pupils / students, regardless of their prior attainment, which at St Mary's is significantly below age related expectations;
3. The ability to work effectively within a team, providing direction to support staff delivering targeted intervention programmes.
Applicants are encouraged to discuss the post by arrangement.
