Are you a History or Geography specialist who believes that the past and the world around us should be accessible to every learner?
Opened in September 2025, our brand-new secondary school in Chaldon is looking for a Humanities Teacher. This isn't just a classroom role; it's a chance to build a bespoke curriculum for students (ages 11-16) who thrive in non-traditional settings-specifically those with social communication, sensory, and emotional regulation needs.
Why leave the mainstream behind?
If you're tired of "teaching to the test" and want to focus on the human side of education, this role offers a refreshing shift in perspective:
Curriculum Architect: You won't just follow a scheme of work; you'll design one. Help us build a Humanities department that prioritises student passions over rigid checklists.
Small Groups, Big Impact: Forget the 30-student crowd. Here, you'll work with small, focused groups supported by a dedicated multi-disciplinary team.
Early Weekends: Reclaim your time with a 4:00 PM finish every Friday.
Integrated Therapy: Work side-by-side with therapists and SEN experts to ensure EHCP goals are woven into every lesson.
Your Mission
Adapt & Inspire: Translate complex History and Geography concepts into engaging, sensory-friendly lessons for students with Autism and complex needs.
Holistic Growth: Track progress through personalised targets and EHCP outcomes, focusing on the "whole child" rather than just data points.
Advocacy: Be the voice for your students in PEP and LAC reviews, ensuring their academic and social journey is supported.
Expert Leadership: Manage the classroom with a calm, non-confrontational approach, acting as the subject lead for Humanities across our founding site and satellite location.
Are you the right fit?
We need a resilient, creative educator who sees "challenging behavior" as a form of communication and a puzzle to be solved.
What you'll need:
QTS/PGCE (or equivalent teaching qualification).
A proven track record of differentiating the National Curriculum for SEND learners.
A collaborative spirit-you'll be working closely with a wide range of specialists.
A Driving License: Our rural location is beautiful, but public transport is limited!
Bonus points for:
A postgraduate qualification in Autism.
Experience in de-escalation and supporting students with complex behavioural needs.
Ready to start the journey?
Be a part of something from Day One. Help us ensure that every student has "every opportunity to achieve."
