Special needs teacher required full time for special needs school in Bristol.

We are currently seeking a teacher to teach a KS3 cohort in a special needs school in Bristol starting in the New Year on a long term contract basis. Marking and planning will be required. We are happy to consider a primary, secondary or special needs teacher, since the students will be lower ability.

The school is a new site that has recently opened this year and specialise in students with social, emotional and mental health difficulties. So we are looking for a teacher that is great with behaviours, understands how trauma can present itself and able to inspire and reengage students that have low self esteem in their learning abilities.

The right teacher will need to have good curriculum knowledge across different subjects. Class sizes are small as with any specialist school and there is also plenty of staffing around to support students.

Requirements;

- UK QTS

- Experience in teaching students with SEMH, either from a mainstream or specialist environment.

- Broad subject knowledge and able to plan differentiated learning so all students have access to learning.

- Effective planning and marking with the aim to increase attainment of pupils.

- Strong communicator with other staff members such as SLT, as well as parents on student progress.

- You will need to hold an enhanced DBS on the update service.

If you are looking for a teaching post where you can instil confidence and compassion to students that often feel let down by adults in life, get in touch with us today
