Following the successful appointment of a new Headteacher in September 2023, the school is currently undergoing a restructure and a variety of roles have become available. Cornfield is located in the seaside town of Littlehampton and has 77 students on role, aged between 8 and 16 who have Social, Emotional, or Behavioural difficulties.
We are looking to appoint a Subject Leader for Science to start as soon as possible. The successful applicant will work alongside our friendly and supportive team of professionals who put the students at the heart of what we do.
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate robustness & resilience as the role can be extremely rewarding but very demanding. It is important to maintain a level of calm and have excellent communication skills with both adults and young people. Good organisational skills, the ability to multitask, and acting as a role model for students are essential.
The ideal applicant will have recent experience of working with children with SEN; experience in Social, Emotional, and Communication Difficulties would be advantageous. Management experience is also an advantage, as well as the ability to demonstrate excellent classroom practice.
This is an excellent opportunity for the successful candidate to work in a good school (OFSTED June 2021) that focuses on supporting SEMH students to become more independent and provides them with skills and experiences that will enable them to be successful in life.
This post would be suitable for experienced and recently qualified practitioners wanting to commit to working with challenging students.
Applications are invited from candidates on either TMS or UPS pay scale; visits to the school are strongly advised and encouraged.
