Permanent Classroom Teacher - St George’s School in Newport

Working at St George’s School means being part of a supportive, inclusive environment where every student is valued. Our staff work with children and young people with a wide range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including those who may present with physical behaviours. Many of our students also require support with personal care and medical administration as part of their daily routines. Applicants should be resilient and committed to compassionate, person-centred support, confident in building trusting relationships with learners with diverse and complex needs, while upholding strong safeguarding practice. Our school values are Perseverance, Aspiration, Independence and Respect.

As a class teacher you will be responsible for the delivery of high quality, inclusive teaching of a range of curriculum subject areas including English and Maths and maintenance of related documentation, including student progress, EHCP documentation and accreditation for the students you teach. You will work with students at St George’s School with medical and behavioural challenges. St George’s is embedding a trauma informed approach to teaching and learning and all staff receive appropriate training to embrace this approach. You may also be required to support individuals requiring medical support and will therefore be required to undertake/update specialist training as necessary. You will develop your practice to effectively meet the needs of our students, supporting them to progress in line with individual’s expectations, or exceed them with additional support. You will develop positive working relationships, sharing good practice across school, and take a lead in identifying areas for your own professional development through your reflective practice.

What you can offer us:

• Be able to demonstrate a high level of personal resilience.
• A dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher who can work creatively to enhance the education of students with a range of physical, sensory and learning difficulties as they journey through to adulthood.
• Relevant experience of working with students who have High Needs/SEND in a specialist area, such as SEMH, Medical, Autism, and complex challenging behaviour.
• Self-reflection on the effectiveness of lessons and approaches to teaching.

In return we can offer:

• Wonderful students.
• The opportunity to be part of an adaptable, committed and skilled staff team.
• A creative learning environment, timetable and curriculum.
• A wide range of training opportunities for career development.
