We at Prospero Teaching are working with a specialist provision supporting children with complex social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH). We educate and inspire children who have been excluded from at least one mainstream setting so they often arrive disillusioned, disengaged and with a dissociation to school and learning. As engaging and empathetic adults, it is our role to establish what our children excel at. We nurture their curiosity and improve their self-confidence so that they are then able to recognise and celebrate making mistakes. We want our children to flourish - academically, emotionally and socially - and experience the joys of learning.
The school is filled with bright, articulate and talented children who all have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) highlighting their range of needs. Our children have medical diagnosis such as complex SLCN needs, Autism, ADHD and some have Adverse Childhood Experiences which shapes the way they see and respond to the world.
The role:
We are seeking to appoint an experienced class teacher who:
Has secure knowledge of the curriculum, is able to teacher assess and plan next steps.
Is able to plan fun, engaging, purposeful and sequenced personalised learning experiences for children with complex SEMH needs.
Is able to provide a safe, secure and aspirational learning environment where children make accelerated levels of academic progress.
Has excellent communication skills has the ability to build positive relationships in different guises - with our children, their families, therapists, social care and other outside agencies.
Has knowledge of successful SEMH behaviour strategies, can identify and respond to triggers and plan purposeful interventions.
Displays empathy, compassion and patience and will have the ability to look beyond the challenging behaviours displayed by children.
Is emotionally resilient, caring compassionate, fun, aspirational (for both themselves and the children) and passionate about education
