Walmer Site - Teachers needed for our growing school
New classes opening from Summer 2025
We will consider a September 2025 or earlier start
We have an exciting opportunity to join our fantastic team at our Walmer site. Our new building will be open from summer of 2025 and we are looking for new Teachers to join our ever-growing team. The Walmer site will be growing year on year until it will fully accommodate 240 pupils.
This is an exciting opportunity for a committed teacher to work with our pupils with a range of learning needs. The roles would suit an energetic and passionate practitioner who can engage with young people and continually focus on the functionality of skills to enable our pupils to thrive. Due to the needs of the pupils, this role would suit an individual who has the qualities and skills to deliver a creative approach to a primary curriculum.
The successful candidates will either be experienced and successful SEN teachers who enjoy team working and taking responsibility, ECTs who can demonstrate they are going to add to the school, or mainstream teachers who have a desire and passion to move to special needs teaching.
You will work as part of an experienced and highly motivated team, in a new and well-resourced environment. Our school values and ethos are focused on supporting individual pupils and classes to access learning in a purposeful and nurturing environment.
The Beacon provides a supportive and collaborative environment, that is constantly seeking to develop and enhance the best learning opportunities for our pupils. This is achieved through a dedicated peer to peer coaching programme, self-reflection and an ethos and culture where everyone is committed to school improvement. In addition, we place a high priority on professional and career development.
The benefits of working at The Beacon include:
* a comprehensive induction programme for all staff

The Beacon is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. Please note that this position is subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure and two satisfactory references.
If you are interested in the position, then we would really welcome a conversation and a visit to the school where a member of the Senior Leadership Team would be pleased to spend some time with you. Please contact Katie Lonergan, HR Manager on 01303 847555 or email hr@thebeacon.kent.sch.uk
