SEMH (Primary) - Barley Lane School - Devon, United Kingdom - Devon County Council

Description

Barley Lane School is a day special school for children with SEMH. The school provides education for up to 79 pupils aged 7-16 who benefit from small group and individualised learning. Although we are a small school that teaches to the national curriculum, we supplement this with nurture principles to develop healthy, happy, confident children who are ready and open to learning.

We are seeking to recruit someone who is ready and willing to take a genuine interest in each and every pupil, who can understand and unpick complex behaviours at times utilising their skills and experiences in relational practise and by doing so, provide a sustained positive climate for learning.

We are seeking someone whose values and attitudes align more to our core values than someone who would expect to teach their way through challenging times, understanding that high quality teaching and learning follows our culture and ethos and as Ofsted describes;

'Ready, respectful and safe' is at the heart of Barley Lane School. Leaders prioritise this so that pupils feel safe and are ready to learn.

The recruitment process will explore these elements in both theory and practise. Clearly, a skilled, teacher and teaching that compliments all of these things is essential.

This is a fixed term contract covering maternity for the academic year from September 2024.

All shortlisted candidates will be subject to an interview where their values are explored to promote and ensure safeguarding and any appointment subject to a DBS disclosure and references.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
This role requires a DBS disclosure.
This role requires the ability to fulfil all spoken aspects of the role with confidence and fluency in English.
Online searches may be done as part of pre-recruitment checks.
