Safeguarding & Prevent
Location: Chaldon, Surrey (with occasional travel to Caterham)
Salary: £34,398 - £48,913 (M1 - UPS1 Fringe)
Bonus: £5,000 Welcome Bonus for Qualified Teachers
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Are you a passionate educator who believes that every child deserves a bespoke path to success? We have recently opened a brand-new SEND Secondary School dedicated to supporting young people (aged 11-16) with social communication, emotional regulation, and sensory processing needs.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Nurture Teacher who thrives in a non-confrontational, high-support environment and wants to be a founding member of a school community that truly puts the student first.
Why This Role is Different
We don't believe in "one size fits all." Our students follow a broad, exciting curriculum tailored to their specific passions and interests. You won't be doing this alone; you will work within a model of small class sizes and high levels of classroom support, backed by a supernumerary multi-disciplinary intervention team.
Your Impact:
Create a Sanctuary for Learning: Deliver high-quality, nurture-based teaching for pupils with Autism and associated complex needs.
Innovate the Curriculum: Contribute to the development of a curriculum that balances academic progress with physical and social well-being.
Champion Progress: Set and monitor personalised targets, ensuring that every "small win" is celebrated and every EHCP goal is pursued with intent.
Collaborate: Work alongside therapists and specialists to provide a holistic support system for every child.
What You'll Bring
We are looking for a teacher who views "challenging behaviour" as a form of communication. You should be:
Resilient & Empathetic: Able to maintain a calm, non-confrontational approach in high-pressure moments.
Reflective: A practitioner who constantly analyses lesson outcomes to better meet student needs.
Knowledgeable: Familiar with current issues in the field of Autism and SEN pedagogy.
A Team Player: Ready to contribute to a multi-disciplinary approach to student care and education.
The Essentials
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) preferred (Welcome bonus applies to QTS holders).
Hours: 40 hours per week (8:15 am start; finish times vary between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm).
Flexibility: While based in Chaldon, you may occasionally support our satellite site in nearby Caterham.
