Contract Term: Full-Time
Salary: £37,137 to £43,194 (depending on experience and qualifications)

This is an exciting opportunity to join our brand new SEN school, commencing our next phase of expanding our team!
The school provides education to day pupils, and via our unique Turning the Curve provision, to young people who have been disengaged from education for significant periods of time.
We aim to maintain a nurturing and accepting environment for young people who have not had their needs met in other settings. Likewise, we also aim to provide a work/life balance to staff not available in larger schools.
We are seeking an experienced SEN teacher to deliver a Nurture Provision, particularly at primary level. You will play a vital role working alongside our leadership team to support our amazing students to fulfil their potential and to develop their skills.
The role entails planning and delivery of a targeted curriculum for some of our most vulnerable pupils, who are either of primary age or who are not yet ready to access our secondary curriculum.
The role would be suitable for teachers with experience of delivering a topic based curriculum and of working with pupils with Anxiety, Emotionally based School Avoidance, ASD and/or ADHD.
Qualified Teacher Status is essential, however exceptions may be made for candidates who demonstrate significant experience and impact in a school or nursery setting and have the ability to access a school based qualification pathway in the future (the advertised pay rate will likely not apply if QTS is not held).
There are so many reasons to join us. From competitive pay to fast-track progression opportunities, we offer a whole host of well-being benefits, the use of our holiday home when you need a break, as well as a warm family work environment and a company culture focused on fun!
Most importantly, the opportunity to make a genuine, lasting difference to a child’s life within a supportive team.
Successful employment is subject to satisfactory Full Enhanced Disclosure, right to work and reference checks in line with government regulations and Safer Recruitment Practices (the company will cover the costs).
All young people are equally entitled to have their needs met in a fair and balanced way. Esland employees are responsible for promoting equal opportunities for all and for challenging any behaviour or practice which discriminates against any young person or colleague on the grounds of race, religion, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, or any other perceived difference.
Apply today and become part of our highly valued team!
At Esland, we offer care, education, and therapeutic support to 6 to 18 year olds from diverse backgrounds who have encountered a range of adverse childhood experiences.
These experiences include complex trauma and foster placement breakdowns, as well as difficulties engaging in their education setting.
The young people we support often have mental and developmental diagnoses which impact their daily functioning.
To help a young person manage these challenges we make every interaction with them therapeutic in nature.
With our support they learn how to build positive and trusting relationships, regulate their emotions and try new and positive experiences to support their transition into adulthood.
Most importantly, we put our young people at the heart of everything we do, with the dedicated support of our talented teams, partnerships, and community relationships.
