We will not apologise for calling our staff great, the best, or world-class. Our staff are at the core of our organisation and we celebrate them by shouting it from the rooftops! Where and when do we need you? To support the exciting expansion of Fair Ways education provision, we are looking for an unqualified teacher specialising in English, to work as part of our fantastic teaching team at our specialist Autism School (GLADE) located in Totton. We strongly believe in creating a person-centred programme to meet each child’s needs adapting a unique ‘autistic curriculum’. This not only captures the pupil’s learning needs but also addresses social, emotional and communication needs of children and young people with autism, and nurtures their independence and well-being. Students are placed with Fair Ways when most other mainstream or specialist schools have been unsuccessful. As such, they are likely to have been out of education for a long period of time, having exhausted multiple placements. As an unqualified teacher at our school you will be involved in exciting and rewarding activities like: Individualised lesson planning, delivery of lessons, marking of work and knowing when and how to differentiate appropriately using approaches which enable students to be taught effectively. Helping young people draw up action plans for employment, education and training and support them to achieve these goals, including a high standard of planning and delivery of the programme whilst supporting the individual needs of the student. Participating in the completion and monitoring of all student assessments and being accountable for student’s attainment, progress, and outcomes within your subject area. Supporting the implementation and delivery of each student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) and Personal Education Plan (PEP) by providing relevant data to monitor progress, set targets and plan lessons. Liaising and negotiating with Employers, Colleges, Universities, and training providers to provide the best opportunities for our students. Demonstrating an understanding of, and a willingness to learn, how the young peoples’ early life experiences may result in, or contribute to, severe challenging behavior. Recognising and accepting the possible need to intervene using positive handling strategies to ensure incidents are managed safely, and working as part of a consistent team. Successful candidates will be working 37.5 hours per week, term time only. All candidates must have a full driving license and access to a car. Successful candidates will be required to provide an enhanced Disclosure (DBS), the cost of which will be met by Fair Ways.
