**About the role**
As an ECT Teacher, you will take a creative approach to teaching pupils
according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of the school
curriculum in a way that maximises pupil’s achievement and ability to develop.
This is a great opportunity for an ECT Teacher who is keen to develop creative
learning opportunities for pupils with varied and complex needs. Your work
will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure, and you will be working in
a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are
listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.
When it comes to looking after our pupils, we never settle for second best. We
are looking for an ECT Teacher experienced in teaching a range of subjects and
who shares our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable
young people in the UK to be happy and to make their way in the world.
The successful candidate must be familiar with and happy to adopt a
therapeutic approach to teaching and working with SENSEMHAutistic pupils.
Educated to degree level and Qualified Teacher Status, you will be calm,
engaging, resilient, and have an innovative style of teaching, motivated by
helping every pupil to reach their potential.
**Whilst we are a Specialist SEN Provider, no previous SEN experience is
needed for this role. If you have recently qualified and are passionate about
supporting pupils to reach their full potential, then we can offer strong,
structured training and a clear progression plan!**
