Hours: Full Time

Salary: Teachers Main Scale/Upper Scale

Contract: Permanent

 

The Nelmes’ Rainbow is a well-established SEND UNIT provision [opened in March ‘21] supporting high needs children with ASD and/or social communication needs.   The purpose of the provision is to provide more specialised support for pupils to ensure they access their curriculum and make good progress against their starting points.

We are seeking to employ an experienced primary teacher with expertise in supporting pupils with a range of special needs, particularly ASD and social communication difficulties. You will work alongside our unit lead and support in managing and deploying our team of learning support staff and share support, advice and strong SEND knowledge.  

This Position requires the candidate to:

  • Hold QTS and have experience in teaching the primary age range and children with significant SENDs
  • Be confident in using your knowledge of current theory and practice in teaching and learning, and SEND
  • Be adaptive and seek solutions in supporting our children with high need
  • Be ready to utilise the benefits of a curriculum that is innovative and flexible in terms of delivery and content: this is likely to include designing a bespoke curriculum that meets the needs of a variety of learners
  • Be engaged with both the schools and provision’s ethos, thinking creatively and reflectively within an open and honest team, whilst keeping the needs of the pupils firmly at the centre
  • Be able to develop positive relationships with pupils to ensure our children are the best they can be
  • Play a full part in the life of the school and be committed to working in partnership with staff, parents and governors.

 

Nelmes is an outstanding school and can offer you:

  • a kind, caring, warm and friendly school with happy, and motivated children
  • a well-resourced teaching environment adjacent to our mainstream school
  • continuing professional development opportunities within and outside of school and an experienced team to offer advice and support
  • an opportunity to be part of a strong and dedicated staff team who are committed to high standards and creating an inclusive learning environment for all children.

Visits to the provision are welcomed and encourage.   We welcome applications from teachers with SEND expertise and knowledge in the areas of ASD and social communication needs.    

 

Please apply online.

We are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff to share this commitment.

Safeguarding

Havering Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The protection of our pupils from abuse is the responsibility of all staff within our schools, superseding any other considerations. Therefore Havering Schools comply with the Department for Education ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance.

It is an offence to apply for a post which involves engaging in regulated activity relevant to children if you are barred from doing so. Please be advised that, again in line with ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, shortlisted candidates (who wish to accept an invite to interview) will be required to submit, prior to their interview, a self-declaration of their criminal record or information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. Upon submission of this information, online checks may be carried out.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; the successful applicant will be expected to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure check. Having a criminal record will not necessarily debar you from obtaining a position with the School.

Equal Opportunities

Havering Schools aim to promote and ensure equality of opportunity and equal treatment for all. We are committed to equal opportunities in employment regardless of gender, marital status, race, colour, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origins, disabilities, age, sexual orientation, responsibility for dependants, religious or political affiliation and trade union activities. All matters related to employment are decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need.
