Think you know The Willows? Think again…
Welcome to a new era where high educational expectations and empathetic connections are at the heart of our mission to improve lives; a place where children are challenged and inspired to be Fun, Involved, Self-aware Heroes.
We are building a fortress where our ethos and curriculum will enable children to wonder about, experience and feel their world, gaining skills and knowledge that will inspire big dreams about what they can become and self-worth so they value who they are.
There is no doubt that you will need resilience, creativity and kindness to meet the challenges that each day will bring at our school but by joining us you will be ensuring the children at The Willows get the inspiring educational opportunities and experience they need and deserve.
We need your skills and enthusiasm to make our vision a reality and having taken our first steps we are now seeking an experienced champion of children (teacher!) who has a passion for teaching children with special educational needs to join our team.
Working closely with our fantastic SENDCo, you will be teaching a small group of children with EHCPs / complex needs to ensure they make great progress from their varied starting points, and they experience success as part of the small group and their home class.
The class will follow a broad, balanced and personalised curriculum, which enables children’s academic learning alongside their speech and language skills, early play skills, social skills and emotional literacy development. Knowledge and experience teaching in an early years setting or specialist provision would be particularly advantageous to the role.
We would like to recruit a teacher for September 2024, who:
7. has knowledge and experience in mainstream primary or early years’ teaching and SEND or special school/specialist unit teaching
8. has excellent teaching skills, particularly in early literacy and numeracy
9. is skilled in managing and understanding behaviour, including social-emotional needs
10. can work as part of a team
11. is flexible, skilled, and committed to working with children with SEND
12. can plan and deliver a specialised curriculum to children with learning difficulties including writing personalised targets and making accurate assessments
13. knows SEND and inclusive strategies to help children develop to their full potential in all areas.
So why not be ‘the change you want to see in the world’ and apply to work with us.
