PSHE Teacher

We are seeking a resilient, reflective and compassionate teacher who can build positive relationships, engage reluctant learners and create a safe, nurturing environment where every student can achieve success. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience of supporting students with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), SEMH needs, communication difficulties and trauma-related behaviours.

You will plan differentiated work to meet the needs of individuals and groups promoting progression, continuity and quality of learning by having clear intentions for children’s learning and by using your knowledge of school policies and National Curriculum requirements. You will support the pastoral needs of the students, creating a safe nurturing space within your classroom that allows students to grow as people and develop a positive sense of self concept, emotional resilience and positive self-esteem. You should be able to accurately assess need, deliver teaching reflective of need, and measure targeted incremental progress, in order that students are prepared for transition and integration into their next appropriate phase of life.
