North Star 82⁰ is the primary provision of North Star Academy Trust based in North Bristol, and specialising in supporting pupils experiencing Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. We aim to be part of a joined-up provision offering our pupils the outstanding education they deserve.

We are looking for an experienced and successful primary teacher, ideally with a background within an SEMH school who has good knowledge of the EYFS/KS1 curriculum for delivery to a group of Y4 and Y5 pupils who have SEMH needs and academic delay.

Like us, you will be passionate about safeguarding, deeply committed to releasing potential, and determined to make a difference every day.

You will bring our innovative curriculum to life as you maintain good order and discipline, engage pupils with SEN, and stimulate children of all abilities to reach their full potential. We will give you real scope to develop the social, emotional and cultural aspects of our pupils’ learning, and encourage you to set clear targets for both behaviour and academic achievement. This means you will enjoy plenty of autonomy and wide-ranging opportunities to shape the way we work.

We are looking for a teacher with:

• Good Knowledge of SEN Code of Practice, in particular SEMH education

• Experience with the use of assessment data and implementing strategies for raising achievement of pupils with SEMH
