Required! A suitably experienced individual, passionate about helping every child succeed and improve their life chances, to lead our nurture provision for vulnerable children

We are a 3-19 all age fully inclusive Academy on an exciting journey to become an outstanding organisation and are very proud that in 2014 we received an SSAT award for our students being in the top fifth of schools nationally when looking at their progress across a broad range of subjects. We are also delighted to be able to offer state-of-the-art facilities in a new £36 million building providing staff with the opportunity to teach in a cutting edge and vibrant environment.

It is an exciting time to be joining us as, alongside our new headteacher, we work hard to improve and bring in line our KS4 outcomes with those in our primary and 6th form phases which are already considered to be good. We have recently joined the newly formed Bishop Fraser Trust, a C of E multi academy trust currently consisting of two outstanding schools - St James’s C of E High School and Canon Slade School where there will be opportunities to work collaboratively within the wider MAT community sharing good practice and building on the much needed improvement work and progress that has been taking place this year.

The schools of The Bishop Fraser Trust aim to offer:

  • A high quality, inclusive and distinctive education
  • A caring and nurturing environment based on our Christian values, recognising the uniqueness of each child.

Working under the direction of the Personalised Learning Teacher and SENCo and in conjunction with another HLTA, the post holder will lead the teaching and learning of our students in our specialist KS3 Nurture provision and also, when required, support some of our more challenging KS4 students in our personalised learning provision. The post holder will:

 

  • work within the structure of the Nurture Group principles and using the Boxall profile to support
  • be responsible for planning, preparing and delivering learning activities for individuals or small groups of students.
  • have experience of working with secondary aged young people with challenging behavioural and social needs.
  • have high expectations for students’ attainment and personal development,
  • be able to discover and implement those strategies which best engage students in their learning
  • have a customer focussed attitude, personal integrity and professionalism
  • be willing to work flexibly to meet the demands of a continuously improving organisation.
  • quickly build rapport and effective professional relationships with both our young people and colleagues
  • motivate students to work hard and try their best
  • work hard to ensure all students make at least expected progress irrespective of their starting point and individual needs
  • demonstrate personal resilience and role models those personal qualities we wish to instil in our young people

 

In return we can offer:

· fantastic facilities

· a supportive and encouraging staff team

· a laptop to use whilst in employment

· a rigorous and motivational programme of continuous professional development

· opportunities to work with KS1 & KS2 pupils

· a paid premium to a Healthcare Cash Plan to claim back contributions towards dental, optical and other medical costs
