About the role

About you

We are looking to appoint a dynamic teacher who has extensive experience supporting children and young people with additional needs. You will need to have proven experience of raising attainment for vulnerable pupils, including those with special educational needs and English as a second language.

The successful candidate will have responsibility to ensure that every learner in their ‘class’ has an up to date, robust and effective Personal Education Plan that targets learning, and progress completed each term.

You will also be able to navigate the multi-professional network to ensure barriers to learning and progress are overcome. As a teacher, it will be your responsibility to monitor and track pupil progress and to recommend interventions to enable pupils and students to achieve and succeed. Part of the role it to be able to support and equip the network with skills and experience they need to support our learners, and this will include training to social worker, schools and foster carers.

As children looked after are placed throughout the UK, the role will include travelling to meetings at schools outside London. The role will also include leading and co-facilitating enrichment opportunities that take place after school and occasionally during school holidays and weekends.
