Are you a passionate educator who believes that every child deserves a bespoke approach to learning? We are seeking a resilient, empathetic, and creative Nurture Teacher to join our dedicated team at a specialist secondary school.
The School Environment
This is a specialist setting catering to secondary-aged students with Autism (ASC) and associated challenging behaviours. We pride ourselves on providing a calm, therapeutic, and nurturing environment where students who have previously struggled in mainstream settings can finally thrive.
As a Nurture Teacher, you won't just be delivering a curriculum; you will be building the emotional foundations that allow these young people to engage with the world.
Your Role
Lead a small nurture group: Delivering a primary-model curriculum adapted for secondary learners.
Holistic Development: Focus on social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) alongside academic progress.
Behaviour Support: Implement positive behaviour management strategies and de-escalation techniques.
Collaborative Working: Partner with on-site therapists and support staff to create individualised learning plans.
Requirements
To be successful in this role, you must meet the following criteria:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): This is essential. We welcome applications from both Primary and Secondary trained teachers who have a "nurture" mindset.
Driving License: Due to the beautiful, rural location of our school, you must be able to drive and have access to a vehicle (public transport links are limited).
SEN Experience: A proven track record of working with Autism and managing challenging behaviours is highly desirable.
Resilience: The ability to remain calm under pressure and provide a consistent, safe space for our students.
Why Join Us?
Competitive Salary: Paid to scale with additional SEN allowances.
Professional Growth: Access to specialist training in ASC and therapeutic practices.
Impact: The opportunity to make a genuine, life-changing difference in a small-group setting.
