Do you want to work in a unique setting and have a positive impact on student wellbeing?
If so, we have a wonderful opportunity for you to join our Humanities team, as a PSHE teacher.
Valence School is a KCC Foundation day and residential special school for students aged 4 to 19 with physical disabilities, complex medical needs and associated communication and learning difficulties. We are part of the Kent Special Educational Needs Trust (KsENT).
You will make a tangible difference to the lives of students at our school, teaching across two of the three learning pathways in the secondary school. Alongside teaching PSHE, you will be a valued part of the whole school community, who work together closely to ensure we meet our students’ individual needs. The PSHE curriculum reinforces the work done in Independence and Social Skills lessons and is, therefore, a highly valued subject.
Students at Valence behave impeccably and are highly motivated; we are looking for a PSHE teacher who can help our students communicate with the complex world around them and achieve their full potential, in preparation for adult life.
This post is suitable for both early career teachers (where support will be given to plan and develop the PSHE curriculum) and more experienced teachers . Secondary and Primary trained teachers can apply for this post.
Previous experience of teaching SEND would be an advantage but not essential. Visits to the school would be warmly welcomed.
We reserve the right to interview and appoint before the closing date.
Valence School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of every student and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. References will be taken up before interview and the successful applicants will require an enhanced DBS check.

About Valence School
We are proud to share with you the excellent work we do with children and young people who have physical disabilities and complex medical needs. Our school is unique within the maintained sector in the whole of southern England. We cater for students aged 4 to 19 and have both day and boarding places. We have a large site with high quality teaching, social care and health care facilities. A staff team of over 200 people provides specialist teaching, social care, therapies and nursing care to an exceptionally high standard.
Our overall aim is to enable every child and young person to achieve meaningful independence. Students flourish in a supportive but challenging environment, making good educational progress and achieving a range of accreditation as they get older. There is excellent support to enable students to achieve functional communication, mobility and skills for daily living.
We are a Foundation Special School and are part of the Kent SEN Trust, a cooperative trust of ten schools working together to improve outcomes for all the children and young people attending the schools. In 2008 Valence became a specialist Sports College and this status plays a significant role in raising students’ achievements and their participation in high quality physical education and sport.
The School works proactively with parents and external professionals to provide holistic support for every child and young person. It is also developing high quality outreach support services to local schools and more widely for children and young people in Kent who have physical disabilities who are attending mainstream schools.
The School always places children and young people at the centre of all decisions it takes and it has a relentless focus on achieving the best possible outcomes for every student
