Job description

Are you a passionate, enthusiastic and inspirational Primary Teacher who would like to work with SEMH Students and help make a big difference to their lives? If so then please keep reading for an exciting opportunity on the Chigwell/Loughton border.

We are looking for a qualified teacher who is both encouraging and engaging, to work with a small class of students with SEMH.

The successful candidate should have:

- QTS
- The ability to be able to build strong relationships
- Good behaviour management skills
- The ability to be flexible and empathetic when necessary
- The commitment to making a difference to your students

NQT's will also be considered.

This is initially a 12 month contract and is an amazing opportunity for a solid primaryteacher who is looking for something that little bit different. In return the school offer:

- The chance to work in an "Outstanding" SEN School
- An opportunity to share best practice with experienced teachers who are experts in their field
- An opportunity to work with small groups of students rather than full classes of 25-30 children
- The chance to join a school who are committed to providing a comprehensive professional development and training package for staff
- A chance to benefit from the strong positive ethos of the school

This school is a LA funded residential primary school which caters for boys between 5 and 11 years old, who have an educational statement for social, emotional and mental health difficulties. The children board at school from Monday to Friday during term time and are referred to the school by Essex County Council. The site is based in a semi-rural area of Essex, close to the London Borough of Redbridge.

The education team at the school strive to help children who have disengaged from school and learning, to develop strategies to manage their behaviour in a classroom. With small classes of up to ten pupils and a minimum of one teacher and one Learning Support Assistant in each classroom, the staff are able to introduce and maintain clear classroom boundaries for the pupils. Through providing ability, rather than age, appropriate learning tasks, children can experience success in learning and begin to engage and enjoy learning in school.
