KS2 Teacher

Are you a well-informed, inquisitive and inspirational teacher who craves the autonomy and freedom to run your classes whilst being supported by strong and encouraging leadership? Would you like to join a community of compassionate, innovative and inspiring people who all share the same vision for the success of the children they teach? Then Beech Lodge School has the ideal opportunity for you.

Beech Lodge is a unique school that caters for children and young people who are unable to realise their full potential in a conventional setting. Our pupils have a range of difficulties that mean they are unable to thrive in a mainstream environment - from Dyslexia and Dyscalculia to Social and Emotional Difficulties, Anxiety and School Refusal. Life here is all about being part of a close-knit and good humoured team who give each pupil the opportunity to be truly accepted, understood and supported. Our motto is ‘Great Minds Think Differently’ and that applies to our pupils and our staff, who really do take a unique approach to education.

Due to expansion and a broadening academic curriculum, we’re looking for an experienced Class Teacher responsible for a small class of Key Stage 2 pupils. As well as planning, preparing and delivering engaging lessons that meet the specific needs and interests of your class, we’ll rely on you to research new topic areas, and devise and write new curriculum materials using a range of different resources. Planning and running trips, managing your class budget, supervising and supporting the work of teaching assistants and undertaking pastoral duties – all are aspects of this truly rewarding role.

To succeed, you’ll need a good honours degree, recognised teaching qualifications and outstanding subject knowledge. You’ll also need to share our passion, match our outlook on teaching and thrive in taking an alternative approach to helping those you teach, with a desire to breakout of the status quo in mainstream education. Perhaps you’re looking to truly connect with pupils and reconnect with the main reasons why you got into teaching in the first place. Whatever your motivation, crucially, you’re highly motivated, compassionate, work well on your own initiative and are happy to commit to the ethos of the school and its pastoral approach.

As well as a competitive salary and attractive benefits package, you’ll benefit from being part of an inspirational community that thinks deeply about what they teach and how they teach it and where there is a strong belief in developing the full potential of all staff.
