Music Teacher for an SEN school to start in September required.

Permanent role: Work directly on school contract from day one.

A successful and rapidly expanding private SEN (Behaviour, Autism, ADHD, Mental Health) school in Central London is already looking to start the hiring process for teaching roles to start in September

The school is situated in Zone 2 so easy to reach by public transport.

September Role: Music Teacher (BTEC courses). Based on a brand new site just down the road from the current site, a new school will only cater for Year 10 / Year 11 students.

In the first year you will only have the Year 10 students and you will be responsible for getting things up and running for the school in terms of Music so it is a very exciting time to join the school

The ability to offer another subject in addition to Music would be desirable but not essential. The students enjoy extra curricular activities and so popular extra subjects to offer could be Maths, Computer Science/ICT , PE , Drama, English

The current school caters for children aged 5 – 14 yrs old who have been permanently excluded from mainstream and other forms of SEN provision. Due to the Mental Health backgrounds of the students, the students can sometimes display very challenging behaviours (often for short periods of time). Someone with experience in a PRU/Hospital School could be an ideal candidate for example

The schools only cater for up to 30 students.

Please note:

Teachers must have QTS to be eligible for teaching posts at this school

Teachers need to have experience working with students that can display challenging behaviours but please note that many of these students are eager to learn. This is not a PRU setting. The ethos and approach is very different here than a PRU but the ability to work with behavioural difficulties is essential. However, the school also offers a therapeutic aspect to the overall well being of their students.

You will need to have a real passion for working within education and mental health.

Teachers will be well supported with a large selection of support workers/Learning Assistants so there is a large adult : student ratio.

Immediate interviews available for suitably shortlisted candidates. The Manager dealing with these vacancies is very pro-active in wanting to secure good people as soon as possible

Send in your CV as soon as possible for the attention of Dean Burnell.
