About Corby Business Academy; 

In April 2023 the Academy was judged to be GOOD in all areas by OFSTED, who highlighted that:

“Leaders have brought about significant improvement at this school. They focus on providing an ambitious curriculum for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)”

We are currently recruiting a teacher in our Unit Provision, a specialist provision for students with SEND.  The Unit Provision at Corby Business Academy currently caters for 77 students. Our students have a wide range of needs including SLD, MLD and complex learning difficulties; with additional needs such as ASD and SLCN. We have an exciting opportunity to expand to cater for 100 students, increasing our intake in September 2024 and January 2025 when we will be at our new full capacity. The Unit is undergoing building work in Term 6 and the summer to add two new classrooms and a sensory/therapy room.  We are looking to recruit a skilled and motivated individual to join our team in May 2024 who will support and help us prepare towards our expansion plans.

The Unit Provision expansion will see us move from 7 to 9 teaching groups. The students are currently taught in Key Stages by a team of specialist staff.  The curriculum provides students with breadth of both academic and life skills-based learning. Dependent on student levels we offer a range of different pathways and accreditation. Our students access a range of opportunities dependent on their individual pathway including sporting activities, work experience and off-site visits into the local community. These compliment the academic curriculum and develop functional skills, preparing our students for adulthood and lifelong learning. 

The ideal candidate will be a highly qualified, organised and inspirational teacher who is committed to raise achievement through motivating and inspiring students across the curriculum. In return for your commitment we can offer a modern working environment, a team of supportive colleagues, training, opportunities for professional development and work place benefits.  

We actively encourage students to participate in all areas of academy life, motivating and inspiring them to unlock their potential and realise their ambitions. Staff have an uncompromising commitment to this and work closely with one another to support and develop students as well as one another.

Are you an individual who would love to make a difference to the lives and education of students? Are you enthusiastic, energetic and flexible? The successful candidate will receive outstanding support from Leaders who are passionate about providing students high quality education. Experience with SEND or Primary teaching is desirable. Teaching a core subject will be required. Driving the mini bus for offsite visits is desirable but not essential. MIDAS training can be provided.

·         Daily allowance for breakfast and lunch. 

·         A modern building with fantastic facilities and resources. 

·         A supportive and friendly community of staff and students.
