Job description
Would you like to make a difference to the lives of young people?
We have a very exciting opportunity, for a maths and/or science specialist
teacher, to join our teaching team at Highfields College. The role would
primarily be teaching our KS4 cohort.
Highfields College is a large Pupil Referral Unit, undergoing rapid and exciting
growth. The vast majority of our pupils have been permanently excluded from
mainstream secondary education, arriving with us with a range of SEMH needs.
The aim of our school is to help re-build connections, build positive
relationships and help support our pupils to remove barriers to their learning.
We are trauma informed, attachment aware and restorative in our approach
to working with our young people.
The specific aim of our KS4 site is to help our pupils re-engage with their
education, bridge gaps in their learning and reach their full potential in core
subjects, in preparation for GSCE’s and future endeavours (English, Maths,
Science- mainly biology, PSHE and computing). These are delivered alongside a
varied and exciting enrichment program, ensuring our pupils get exposure to a
variety of learning and skills-based opportunities.
The right candidate will-
- Be able to think outside the box to engage our pupils
- Have an affinity for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties
- Be positive, engaging, patient and resilient
- Be able to plan and deliver stage appropriate and relevant Maths and/or
Science lessons to a range of pupils with SEND and SEMH needs.
- Make learning fun!
Although this job opportunity is subject specific we would positively welcome
applications from teachers who have been trained to teach in primary schools,
as well as secondary. Experience of working within an AP is desirable, however
we will happily consider applicants who can grow with us and have a
determination to succeed.
We can offer:
-The opportunity to teach small classes of up to 8 pupils.
-Mentor support in sessions
-Skilled, supportive and committed colleagues
-The opportunity to broaden your teaching experience in a specialist field.
- A school that will actively support you in developing your career.
We warmly welcome visits to our school.
To arrange a visit please contact [email protected] and
ECT's and trainee teachers due to qualify in the next 6 months are welcome to
apply.
The school is committed to the safeguarding and wellbeing of students and
expects staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be
required to undergo appropriate child protection screening including a DBS
check.
