The Academies for Character and Excellence are looking to appoint an inspirational and dynamic teacher to lead provision in a new SEND Unit for up to eight Key Stage Two children that will open at Hatch Beauchamp Church of England Primary School from September 2025.
What will I be doing?
This is a new and exciting role which will provide the successful candidate with the opportunity to develop and deliver high quality, effective provision for children with mild to moderate ASC and/or S&LC needs.
With extensive support from colleagues in school and the wider Trust, the teacher will play a pivotal role in developing the unit – not only in planning and implementing engaging and innovative curriculum experiences for the children, but also in helping shape the unit’s culture and ethos that will underpin its long term success.
Whilst work is already underway on the practical aspects of setting up the unit, we are keen to ensure that the successful candidate has the opportunity to input into key decisions before September, including the design and resourcing of the unit, and the recruitment of the wider team.
More detail is provided in the attached job description. If you would like to discuss the role in more detail and/or to arrange a visit to the school, please contact Emma Johns (Headteacher) via the school office on 01823 480616.
What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?
Given the nature of the role, the successful candidate will bring experience of teaching children with SEND, including supporting children with ASC and/or S&LC needs. This is likely to have been through specialist provision in a mainstream school or a special setting.
Just as important is that the new teacher shares our passion and commitment for excellence – for doing the best we possibly can for the children in our care, and the enthusiasm and drive to make the Hatch SEND Unit an exceptional place for pupils to learn and grow.
What is in it for me?
What we offer:
- The opportunity to work in an exciting and innovative Trust that will inspire and allow you to reach your full potential
- Exceptional professional support through Trust Improvement Groups and specialist expertise
- Working with like-minded professionals who share a commitment to doing the best they can to support pupils to grow and flourish
- The opportunity to play a key role in an exciting and important new chapter in the school’s journey.
