Job Title: Teacher (SEND)

Every person deserves the right to access meaningful education. That’s where you come in. As a Teacher, you’ll make sure neurodiverse young adults (Aged between 16 and 25) have the best education opportunities available.
Our Curriculum offer is not defined by qualification. It’s structured around the Post 16 Study Programme model, which includes a learning program, work experience, maths and English, and other non-qualification activities to enrich our learners' experience and prepare them for adulthood. Some learners may have social and emotional challenges, so working with them to develop life skills, communication skills and how to express their emotions through a neurodiverse affirming curriculum is key. You’ll be in a great position to do this as we’re a total communication environment.
You’ll get all the training and support you need to make sure our learners have the best experience possible. Whether it be curriculum development skills or working with our integrated therapies team to support our learners.
This college has between 5 and 7 learners in each class, so you’ll have the chance to really get to know the learners you support.
A day in the life of a Teacher will involve:
Leading classroom activities including planning, teaching, and assessing learning, particularly with ‘your’ class. This will involve a range of subjects and topics involved in pathways to adulthood and pastoral support.
Monitoring and recording progress, both academically and against EHCP outcomes.
Working closely with learners, keeping them engaged, motivated, and inspired to reach their full potential.
Providing inspirational learning opportunities to learners, whether in the classroom or out in the community. You’ll work either 1:1 with learners or in small group settings to help them achieve their learning goals.
Working closely with Learning Support Assistants to direct them to effectively support the learners.
Being able to provide and develop a curriculum bespoke to each individual learner. You’ll need to be adaptable in your teaching style as some learners may focus on becoming more independent, while others aim to secure employment.
Being able to recognise when a learners progress is at risk, and where we could improve. You’ll need to be committed to seeking to understand each young person and their needs.
To be a successful Teacher you’ll need:
Patience, compassion, and resilience—All of the learners you’ll support will be neurodiverse, which may impact their learning behaviour and communication needs.
Great communication skills – This is important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times, whether it be learners, parents, or other stakeholders. You’ll need to be able to contribute to a range of resources as well as share information effectively.
To be able to be involved in EHCPs, and shaping a curriculum based on the individual target outcomes of your learners.
To be flexible and adaptable. Not all days go to plan, you’ll need to be comfortable dealing with change.
A genuine interest in a career focused on the education of people with a wide range of needs.
In return for your time, you’ll get:
Holidays – You’ll work 42.4 weeks of the year during term time, but you’ll be paid annual leave to cover the remaining 9.6 weeks.
Pension scheme– Our pension scheme is based on you paying in 5%, and us adding 3%.
Learning & Development Opportunities – We provide comprehensive learning opportunities for team members to develop themselves.
Discounts – You’ll have access to brilliant discounts through the Blue Light Card and our own employee benefits platform.
Wellbeing Support – Your wellbeing is always our priority. You’ll have access to mental health and wellbeing support. On top of this, our therapies team offers a monthly confidential check in clinic, and group reflective practice sessions.
Cycle2Work -The cycle to work scheme enables you to buy a bicycle at a discounted rate.
DBS – As this role required you to have an enhanced DBS carried out, we will cover this cost.
After 12 months service you’ll also be eligible for our Medicash scheme which covers a wide range of medical, health and wellbeing expenses (Including immediate access to a GP!). You’ll get life assurance paid at x2 your annual salary, and even more high street discounts.
At Phoenix Learning and Care, we pride ourselves on our diverse workforce, and ensuring we have an inclusive environment for all our team members. We remain committed to ensuring our teams can bring their true selves to work without risk or fear of discrimination.
Please note that as part of our safer recruitment processes, successful applicants will be subject to pre-employment checks including an enhanced disclosure and barring service (DBS) check and reference validation.
