The school

Following its inception in Nov 2016, This Trust has set out to create an outstanding educational pathway for pupils with social, emotional, and mental health related issues. Any pupil who joins the Trust (at any time) will experience teaching, support, care, and experiences that allow them to flourish, and achieve way beyond what previous expectations may have been for them. They can take pride in their membership of such a journey. The Trust recognises the incredibly challenging circumstances that many pupils are in when they arrive and via quality teaching, care, and support, we can proudly say that we change lives.

Our structure is such that we can offer a pathway for special educational needs that can incorporate primary and secondary ages, a range of needs including autism, and a broad spectrum of provision that enables change, and re-engagement with education and success that has never been experienced before. We can succeed, where due to a range of issues, other placements have failed.

Overall, we aim to be the best type of this provision in the country.

This School is a dynamic, exciting, and progressive secondary special school with an innovative and constantly evolving curriculum for boys with social, emotional, and mental health related difficulties. The school had an Ofsted inspection in June 2024 which was graded GOOD in all areas.

The Role

• Applications are invited for the position of Maternity cover for Wellbeing and Careers teacher to start from January 2025

• Good behaviour management skills, either whole class or with individual pupils is a key part of the role. The ability to work with pupils to develop their social skills, follow school policies and maintain a sense of humour are all essential.

• Ideally candidates are sought with experience of working with pupils with social, emotional, and mental health related difficulties in a mainstream or Special School environment.

• The role involves teaching KS3 and KS4 in small groups of no more than 7 students, supported by a teaching assistant. This allows staff to form excellent relationships with the students.

Our small class sizes also lessen the burden of things like marking and assessment, reporting to parents and allow bespoke teaching to be given to students.

• We need someone who:

• Has a passion for helping pupils that have faced challenges but recognises that when students are presented with suitable support, they can thrive.

• A 'can do' attitude and being keen to create hands on learning experiences

• Is willing to think in creative ways that help engage leaners

• All our pupils have Education Health Care Plans but thrive in our nurturing and well-structured environment. You can be assured that your work will transform lives.

• We need the right person for our school and this role. Your attitude is the key driver, rather than your background and formal qualifications. If you do not have experience of working in special needs, please note that this is not a disadvantage. We value our staff and being part of a cohesive team is essential for us, as we are a small and friendly school.

• All staff are trained in the use of Hertfordshire Steps as a behaviour management system.
