The Sele School is seeking to appoint an outstanding and experienced educator of young people who find learning difficult primarily due to their cognitive working levels, yet are committed and eager to learn in spite of this.

The successful candidate will be working alongside the SENCO and Heads of the Maths and English faculties, ensuring targeted students have the required support and relevant curriculum to maximise their full school experience.  At all times you will be working in a small group teaching environment where the educational offer can be progressive, bespoke and nurturing due to the size of the group. You will be anticipated to plan, deliver and assess the learning of identified students in Maths and English in Key Stage 3, and lead on the delivery of Entry Level Qualifications at Key Stage 4.  

This role would suit a colleague who is either experienced in working with students with SEND-either as a teacher, a SENCO or indeed a primary school teacher, as this group of young people will be working significantly below age related expectations.  Our overall goals for these students are to develop their literacy and numeracy skills alongside providing a broad and diverse curriculum, ensure they can use and apply these skills in everyday life, and prepare them for future employment and independent living.

This is a new role at The Sele School and would suit a professional who has the passion to have a real impact on the learning of some of our most vulnerable students who otherwise may struggle to achieve their personal best within a mainstream, secondary setting. 

The successful candidate will;

-have a track record of high impact teaching

-has the skill set to assess students gaps in learning and skills and address these through a highly personalised curriculum in both Maths and English

- be inspiring, dynamic, nurturing and passionate

-promote The Sele school’s ethos and values
