Do you want to be part of the current revolution of SEND in the Walsall Area?

Shepwell Short Stay School is a progressive and vibrant learning community that focuses on raising the aspirations and potential of every pupil at the school. The role will be based across sites.

Due to increased need we are opening a satellite school to be based at Shelfield Ormiston in Walsall.

• Do you want to teach/support small well-behaved groups of students?
• Do you have the ambition and determination to secure positive outcomes for all students?
• Do you want to be part of a friendly and supportive team?
• Do you have experience of teaching a wide range of abilities including up to GCSE?
• Do you have a varied skill set that means you can teach/support across a range of subjects?
• Would you welcome a better work-life balance?
• Do you want to benefit from flexible working and reasonable adjustments policies?
• Do you have experience with EHCP paperwork and the ability to carry out annual reviews?

We have places in school for 30 learners, all who have an EHCP and work in a very bespoke manner to support our learners' complex needs. We will offer a curriculum similar to that delivered at Studio School with relevant interventions and one-to-one or group support.

Do you have the motivation and skills to work with young people with complex needs including mental health, illness, autism, and ADHD to overcome the challenges they face and enable them to ‘achieve their potential?

Duties cover a range of activities including delivering PSHE/Wellbeing lessons, being prepared to train as a THRiVE practitioner, and delivering one-to-one and small group interventions.

Working closely with the SEN team to arrange, conduct, and complete paperwork for EHCP annual reviews is a vital part of this role, so experience is desirable.
