About Woodside Academy
Woodside Academy is an all-age special school (EYFS-Post 16) for pupils with a primary diagnosis of autism. The school is a flourishing and vibrant learning community located in the London Borough of Bexley. The school’s motto is “All together better” and we are committed to achieving our shared goal of individual and collective excellence for all.
About Our Trust
London South East Academies Trust currently comprises twelve schools, providing high-quality education for 5-19-year-olds across the boroughs of Bromley, Bexley, Lambeth, and Surrey. Our schools, all rated Good by Ofsted, include a mainstream primary alongside special and alternative provision.
About Our Vacancy
Vacancies exist within our primary and secondary phase. We offer a comprehensive and bespoke CPD programme throughout the year and have a good record of upskilling staff at all levels. As all children have an EHCP and are working significantly below age-related expectations, the role is more likely to suit those who are trained/experienced within Early Years, Primary or Special settings. ECTs and those with SEN/autism experience are also welcome to apply.
This is an opportunity for a teacher who actively collaborates in an ambitious team. We are particularly keen to hear from you if you have experience of delivering tailored and personalised learning programmes for children with SEND.
We are seeking to appoint a class teacher who is:
1. Passionate about high-quality personalised provision for children with autism.
2. An excellent teacher with experience or expertise in working with pupils with complex needs in EYFS/Primary/Special Needs.
3. An excellent role model, especially encouraging positive relationships with everyone they come into contact with.
4. Equipped with strong interpersonal skills.
5. A resilient practitioner committed to further development.
6. Someone who loves working closely with others to change things for the better.
We offer:
1. Friendly, enthusiastic, delightful pupils and students who teach us something new every day.
2. A committed and caring staff team who support and develop each other.
3. A proactive and supportive SLT.
4. A comprehensive induction and an ongoing extensive CPD programme.
5. Opportunities to develop your skills and talents.
6. Small class sizes with a high pupil/staff ratio.
7. Free parking on site.
8. Advantages of belonging to a multi-academy trust, e.g., discounts on gym and wellbeing services, access to free and confidential Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programmes.
