Teacher Of EAL And Assistant Sendco in Coventry

We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic individual to join our team as EAL Teacher & Assistant SENDCo. This is a full-time role providing a unique opportunity to contribute to both the academic development and learning support of our students. The successful candidate will teach EAL classes during the College day and work closely with the SENDCo to support students with additional learning needs, particularly by supporting access arrangements for examinations.

There will be an appropriate adjustment of the teaching timetable to ensure the post holder can effectively fulfil both the teaching and SEND responsibilities. Students at the College are engaged in a world-class STEM education, and for those for whom English isn’t their first language, the development of their language skills is a core part of our mission. The College currently has students from 30 different nationalities, all with different levels of English experience and proficiency.

The department delivers a range of qualifications depending on the needs of the student. Most students are working towards IELTS and will have 5 hours of English tuition per week until they have received the level they require for their university application (typically 7.0). Pre-A students work towards the Cambridge English qualification. While prior experience in SEND support (including access arrangements) is beneficial, training in this area can be provided to the right candidate.

We reserve the right to interview applicants early and close this advertisement before the closing date if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.

The National Mathematics and Science College (NatMatSci) is the top specialist STEM college in the UK regularly appearing in the top 10 schools by A-level results. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects are more important today than they have ever been. For those students looking to excel in these areas, the specialist education we provide is designed to enable them to thrive both at A-level and beyond.

We recognise that a high-quality specialist education must go beyond the narrow confines of the curriculum and must expose our students to the breadth and joy contained within these subject areas in an integrated way. We are geared to help students learn how to think, not what to think, which will allow them to thrive at College, at the best Universities and beyond.

Academic Highlights

• Over 50% of grades awarded A*, with over 80% A*/A in A-levels
• Progression to leading universities – 20% gained places at Oxbridge over the last 3 years, over 50% at Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL or LSE Universities and all students gained offers at Russell Group universities
• Lots of success in various national and international STEM competitions and olympiads, with at least one student a year representing the UK or their home country in an international Olympiad.

Alongside our academic focus, NatMatSci is known for excellent pastoral care and a warm, supportive community. With most students boarding, the College offers a structured environment in which students learn to live and work well together, develop independence, and build strong friendships. Our genuinely international community — with students representing over 30 nationalities — enriches daily life both in and out of the classroom, broadening perspectives and creating a vibrant, inclusive culture where students support one another and thrive. This means students leave us not only with the academic credentials required to access top universities around the world, but also with the social and soft skills necessary to thrive when they get there.
