Humanities Teacher in Truro

TLTP are recruiting for a Special Needs Teacher who has extensive experience in teaching Humanities to GCSE and low-level learners. This school is based in Newham, East London. This is a secondary school which caters for children with SEBD, ASD, and SEMH. If you have some SEN experience, then please do apply.

Special Needs Teachers will need to have secondary or primary experience. Teachers are required to deliver a primary school model of education and use their Humanities specialism (up to GCSE standard) to support non-subject specialist teachers as well as provide sufficient direct teaching. The teacher will be responsible for the progress of all pupils in their specialism and coordinating the work of a team of Therapeutic Education Practitioners (Learning Mentors), as well as providing required direct teaching time to meet the needs of the class groups and pupils.

The role involves looking at pupils holistically and drawing on a wide range of social care and teaching strategies to meet pupil needs while promoting interest and ensuring the safety and well-being of pupils. Responsibilities include:

• Delivering lessons that are pupil-focused and creative, according to an agreed timetable, including cover lessons when necessary.
• Supporting class teachers with the delivery of Humanities up to GCSE level.
• Providing opportunities for pupils to experience/understand humanities subjects in a range of contexts.
• Differentiating the National Curriculum to meet the needs of ASC/SEMH pupils and devising Individual Education Behaviour and Integration Plans (IEBIP) to reflect their development needs with appropriate SMART targets and actions.
• Helping to identify pupils in need of specific intervention and support, in consultation with the SLT, PCC, Clinical team, and Therapeutic Education Practitioners (Learning Mentors).
• Supporting the provision and monitoring of one-to-one and small group programmes to address the defined need.

Teachers must be committed to the development of both themselves and the pupils in their class. Special Needs Teachers must have QTS or QTLS and be able to deliver outstanding teaching and learning alongside a multi-disciplinary classroom team. They will need experience of taking the lead in their subject area and have clear ideas of how to achieve exceptional progress for students. Special Needs Teachers require the ability to ensure that pupils fulfil their potential and that they are ambitious in their expectations of them. A calm demeanour is essential to maintain a sense of humour under pressure, and a commitment to safeguarding children is crucial.

The school offers:

• A committed and enthusiastic staff and governors
• Quality professional development
• An exciting opportunity to shape the future of the school and to set the culture for achievement and progress for all pupils
• A purposeful, happy, and supportive environment with learning for all at its centre.

Please only apply if you have the following:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Experience as a Special Needs Teacher to teach Humanities
• SEN/SEBD/ASD/SEMH experience
• Strong behaviour management (SEMH/ASD/EBD)
• Secondary or Primary experience
• A passion for teaching, being fun and vibrant
