CLASS TEACHER - HUB
MPS + SEN Allowance
Full time
Permanent

New Park Academy is situated in the inner-city of Salford and provides education for some of the most vulnerable and at the same time most challenging pupils with social, emotional and mental health difficulties. The school operates as an important element of the LA Behaviour Strategy, as part of the continuum of provision.

New Park Academy is pleased to advertise a new post for an enthusiastic, and motivated teacher to join our dedicated team to become a general teacher with the ability to teach English, Maths and PSHE/Humanities from KS2 level to Foundation GCSE/FS standard. The teacher will be based in Swinton at our NP Hub which serves as a base for some of our young people on the EOTIS Pathway (Education other than in School). The teacher will take the lead in the teaching of programmes for up to approx. 20 pupils. The students will be taught in small groups of up to 3 or 4 students, with TAs tutoring allocated students at the same time, under the guidance of the teacher. Most of the teaching will take place in the mornings, allowing the teacher PPA time as well as opportunity to liaise with subject leaders in the High School so the teacher can use some afternoons to liaise with subject leaders at the high school in Eccles.

New Park Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

You will assist other staff in aspects of behavioural management, teaching and learning, alternative curriculum opportunities, assessment, and be able to demonstrate that you have:

Teaching experience with evidence of delivering outstanding lessons, including experience in tackling disaffection, learning, social, emotional and mental health issues
The confidence and ability to teach across the curriculum from KS2 level of ability to Foundation Level (old NC levels from L1-L5/6)
The ability to achieve high standards of learning, pupil achievement and progress as part of a team
Excellent interpersonal skills with the capacity to lead and support others
A record of continuing professional development
Integrity, a high level of resilience and a determination to succeed sometimes ‘against the odds’.

We are offering you an opportunity to work in a team within an exciting and forward-looking provision that removes barriers to learning and anticipates the future role of special schools.

We would welcome applications from experienced Primary or secondary trained teachers, if they feel confident that they can meet the challenges of the job, both in regards to the pupil group and the additional responsibilities.

Visits to the Hub are most welcome and should be by prior arrangement with the Head Teacher who also welcomes an informal chat over the phone to discuss the position. Please contact her on 0161 532 3254.
