As part of our continued growth, we now have a fantastic opportunity for a Science Teacher to join our close-knit team at Falkland House School, part of Options Autism.

About the Role

As a dynamic and motivated qualified teacher, you already have a passion for making a difference in the lives of pupils. In this role, you will respond to the needs of individuals with autism, learning difficulties, and complex needs, helping them flourish and thrive.

You will plan and deliver engaging learning on a daily basis, developing exciting and innovative methods that stimulate interest and excitement in the classroom.

At Outcomes First Group, you are able to work creatively, making the most of all the extensive resources and expert support we have available.

You will observe, monitor, and assess our students, ensuring their personal development and wellbeing are as important as the academic curriculum.

As a teacher of Science, you will plan, deliver, and teach lessons for individual students in accordance with the School Curriculum framework and promote enthusiasm for the subject within our pupils.

You will also support the Subject Lead to ensure the continuous improvement of learning in Science and support provision based on an annual planning cycle with clear objectives and targets and a quality improvement plan based on self-evaluation and external benchmarks.

Who we are looking for

You will be a passionate teacher and a great communicator, as comfortable talking to pupils with autism, learning difficulties, and complex needs as you are with contributing to the school's vision and direction.

You will enjoy building caring relationships and liaising with fellow professionals, whether they are colleagues in the same school or they work in the pupils' previous educational establishments.

Requirement: GTCS Registration to Science
