Elementa are recruiting for an able English Teacher to work at this special school & PRU based in Swindon. The school provides education across their sites for learners that have ASD/ASC (Autism), SEMH, and other complex needs as well as for children that have been permanently excluded from school. Often, all of their children display challenging behaviours.

Naturally, being an English Teacher in this type of teaching environment comes with its challenges; however, this truly is a rewarding place to work. Despite the challenges their learners face, the school has high expectations of their learners and nurtures and supports them. The headteacher is continuing the long-standing approach to offer outstanding opportunities for the learners while also maintaining a highly positive, friendly & welcoming work environment for colleagues.

Applicants with Team Teach training or other positive behaviour management training may be at an advantage; however, free training will be provided for the successful applicant. The school operates on a transparent and collaborative basis between staff and senior leadership team. Ideas are shared, and everyone has the opportunity to enhance the working environment and student opportunities. Overall, this is a highly positive environment to work in for both staff and students.

If you are a skilled English Teacher looking for an opportunity where you can see the clear difference that you are making to students while working alongside a strong teaching & support staff team, this is the job you should apply for.

Applicants should have good previous SEND experience and knowledge, particularly in SEMH and ASD/ASC, and how to adapt the education approach to ensure that high-quality learning still takes place. Non-subject specialist teachers can be considered provided that you have good previous English teaching experience and are able to engage learners and deliver high-quality lessons.

To be considered for supply opportunities, you must:

• have good previous SEND experience
• be committed to the schools' policies & procedures
• display resilience & tenacity
• be fully invested in supporting students' education & future opportunities

Elementa will be managing all applicants and screening their suitability for the school. Elementa is not a supply agency; we are a school services & recruiting partner to schools. We will manage the candidate vetting & compliance and process your payroll on behalf of the school. Therefore, applicants being considered for the role after pre-screening will be required to complete the registration process for Elementa. This includes full vetting & background checks and application for an Enhanced DBS Disclosure (which may be chargeable @ £62.70) unless you have a current DBS on the update service.

If you have the relevant skills and experience necessary for this role then please apply with your full up-to-date CV. All applicants will be promptly responded to.
