Role Summary 


This is a truly exciting opportunity to join our ACE Tiverton family by leading our Year 7 Engage Pathway Class—an important aspect of our established Engage Pathway and whole school nurture provision. 

 

We are proud of the success of our Pathway 1 (based on the nurture principles) classes across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. This role establishes this approach from the point that our students join our school family. The Engage Pathway enables us to support students across our full age and ability range with a consistently relational, highly personalised approach. Each class benefits from the support of a dedicated Teaching Assistant and a linked member of our Student & Family Support Team, forming a wraparound network that helps every child make progress academically, socially, and emotionally. 

 

You will be part of our Haven team—our purpose-refurbished building opened in September 2023 and designed specifically for our Engage Pathway classes. Haven provides a safe, calm, predictable environment where students with learning, developmental and sensory needs can flourish. The Engage Curriculum pathway prioritises the development of strong literacy, numeracy and wider learning behaviours, while also preparing our young people for adulthood with practical life skills and personalised therapeutic input. Students in this pathway share broadly similar academic levels and specialist profiles, enabling you to deliver responsive, high-quality learning with clarity and purpose. 

In this role, you will teach significant elements of each student’s timetable, including core subjects delivered at an age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate level, Preparation for Adulthood, Life Skills, and our specialist curriculum focusing on communication, interaction, and social development. While experience teaching students with SEND, or experience within KS1 or KS2, will be beneficial, it is not essential. What matters most is your belief in the potential of our young people and your commitment to providing them with the very best. We are looking for someone who brings resilience, curiosity, warmth, and inspirational practice—because our children deserve nothing less. 

 

You will join a skilled team to plan and deliver a broad and balanced curriculum rooted in the National Curriculum, nurture principles, and high expectations. Your teaching will contribute directly to students’ progress, accreditation, and successful transition to Post-16 pathways. You will be part of a team whose purpose is to equip every child with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive as independent young adults prepared for the complex demands of the wider world. We are seeking a proactive, adaptable teacher who can plan, teach, and assess across core subjects while embracing a therapeutic, relationship-based approach to education guided by our specialist practitioners. This is a full time posts but applications are welcome from candidates interested in part time working patterns.  

 

If you want to help us deliver bespoke, innovative, and life-changing education through our Engage Pathway—enabling students to learn for lifelong success—we would be delighted to hear from you.
