Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
About our Vacancy
We are looking to appoint a cover teacher, to work across all phases of our School (EYFS, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4).This is an opportunity for a teacher who wishes to actively collaborate in an ambitious team. We are particularly keen to hear from you if you have experience of delivering tailored and personalised learning programmes for children with SEND.
We offer a comprehensive and bespoke CPD programme throughout the year and have a good record of upskilling staff at all levels. As all children have an EHCP and are working significantly below age-related expectations, the role is more likely to suit those who are trained/experienced within Early Years, Primary or Special settings. ECTs and those with SEN/autism experience are also welcome to apply. We operate an EYFS/Primary model of teaching up to and including Year 13 with some specialist teaching in Y10-13.
We are seeking to appoint class teachers who are:
• Passionate about high quality personalised provision for children with autism.
• An excellent teacher with experience or expertise in working with pupils with complex needs in EYFS/Primary/Special Needs.
• Will be an excellent role model, especially encouraging positive relationships with everyone they come into contact with.
• Equipped with strong inter-personnel needs.
• A resilient practitioner committed to further development.
• Someone who loves working closely with others to change things for the better.
What the school offers its staff
Our popular special academy offers provision for autistic 4-19-year-olds with a wide range of learning needs including complex needs. All of our learners have an Education Health and Care Plan, (EHCP), and a diagnosis of autism. We are all ambitious for each individual all of the time and value trust, honesty, respect and kindness. Our calm, welcoming and purposeful environment ensures that children and young people are happy and confident and can therefore make the most of every opportunity to learn.
At Woodside children of all ages succeed and achieve and develop greater independence and autonomy as they journey through the school. We are building a community of learners, fully inclusive of the most disadvantaged, who are resilient, independent, creative and kind. We welcome and celebrate diversity and are inclusive to all.
Commitment to safeguarding
Woodside Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As such, all posts are subject to a safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks. We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures in place which promote safeguarding and safer working practice across the school.
