Horizon School seeks to appoint a Teacher at our Upper School site in Lowestoft to start in April 2024 or as soon as possible after that.

Horizon School is a two-site Pupil Referral Unit (KS1 – KS4 site and Tier 4 In-patient Youth and Adolescent CAMHS) in North Suffolk. Children come to Horizon School for intervention when they require support in managing their behaviour. This can often be at a point of personal crisis or where their underlying needs haven’t yet been identified, which therefore creates a barrier to them accessing mainstream education.

Role

Horizon School Management Committee value the importance of Continuing Professional Development and will support you with completing any training necessary to fulfil your role and career development.

We are looking for a teacher who can:

• be approachable in nature, supportive, understanding and prioritises wellbeing
• inspire, challenge and motivate our children, staff, managers and parents
• have the passion to focus relentlessly on what is best for all of our pupils and staff, promoting a supportive, secure and happy environment for all
• be highly aspirational, and lead by example with enthusiasm and creativity, drawing on their expertise and that of those around them
• be passionate about the value of education and the need for high-quality teaching and learning
• demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• embrace and continue the child-focused ethos of our school
• continue to sustain and develop a broad and balanced curriculum that enriches the whole child.

Our current team of staff is highly committed to supporting our students to ensure they get as much as they can out of their education at Horizon School. If you feel you could contribute to the school and join us on our journey, we would welcome a letter of application from you.
