We are currently looking to appoint a new SEN English Teacher to join our amazing team at our unique outdoor setting for students aged 11-19 in our growing Leicestershire setting based near Loughborough on a full time, permanent basis. We're looking for a passionate individual with experience of helping to develop a child in line with targets from their academic and pastoral plans. The successful candidate will be delivering group sessions at a base specifically crafted for a small group of students. This "homely" feeling enables us to nurture our students and provide them with the best education experience once we've successfully engaged with them emotionally. Therefore, we need practitioners who can build trusting relationships and provide security to our vulnerable learners and who are able to communicate clearly, confidently, and demonstrate resilience in high-pressure circumstances. Outdoor learning is central to our provisions. The appointed candidate will need to be an advocate of outdoor learning, incorporating this into as many lessons as possible. You will also be responsible for supporting pupils in processing new information, which will be built upon a solid understanding of the student's manifestation of autism. Experience:
The appointed candidates will have a minimum of 1 year's experience working with children and young people with Autism Spectrum Conditions. Working Hours:
