The Mission
Are you a high-performing Teacher feeling stifled by the "exam factory" of mainstream secondary? We are inviting visionary teachers to join our brand-new specialist provision for students aged 11-16 with complex social communication and sensory needs.
This isn't just a teaching job; it's an opportunity to build a school from the ground up. We are looking for strategic thinkers who view "behaviour" as a data point for communication and want to pioneer a new standard in SEND excellence.
Why This is a Strategic Career Move
Forget the "one size fits all" constraints. Here, you have the autonomy to be a pedagogical architect, supported by premium resources and a sophisticated clinical team.
Elite Support Ratios: Small class sizes backed by a supernumerary multi-disciplinary team (OTs, SLTs, and Psychologists).
Curriculum Innovation: Influence a bespoke, high-engagement curriculum that blends academic rigor with functional life skills.
Professional Growth: As a founding member, you are perfectly positioned for rapid leadership progression as the school expands.
Evidence-Based Practice: Move beyond reactive teaching into a reflective, high-support model that utilizes the latest SEN pedagogy.
Your Profile
You don't need to be a "nurture" specialist yet-you need to be an excellent practitioner with SEN Experience. We are looking for:
Analytical Mindset: You see beyond the surface, using reflection and data to pivot your teaching strategy.
Resilience & De-escalation: You possess the "stage presence" to remain the calmest person in the room during high-pressure moments.
Subject Passion: The ability to make your subject accessible and exhilarating for students who think differently.
Collaborative Edge: A desire to work in a "hub" model alongside clinical specialists to achieve holistic student outcomes.
The Essentials
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Mandatory for the £5k bonus.
The Schedule: 40 hours per week (8:15 am start).
Logistics: Primary base in Chaldon; occasional collaboration at our Caterham satellite site.
Tired of the mainstream grind? If you have the skill but want a better environment to deploy it, let's talk about how you can make a tangible impact without the burnout.
