CAMHS Teacher

Ticehurst Hospital School (CAMHS)

Hours: Full time

At Priory Education we are proud of our reputation for delivering quality education and care services with positive outcomes for children and young people aged 5 to 25 who have experienced difficulties in their previous education placements.

Ticehurst Hospital School is an independent co-educational day school for young people aged 11 to 18. Our students are all inpatients of the CAMHS Tier 4 unit and PICU at The Priory Hospital Ticehurst.  We have a team of specialist teachers and teaching assistants who deliver education to all young people at the hospital, where the school is based.

It is our intention that every student develops their courage, determination and skills as a learner, so they can re-engage confidently with their education on discharge. We liaise with mainstream schools and colleges and each young person has an individualised curriculum plan in each subject area, with progress being closely monitored.  Our school offers a broad based academic and enrichment curriculum, with specialist teaching spaces, teaching technologies and substantial grounds around our buildings.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Teacher (qualified or unqualified) for a fixed-term 3 month period.

We would like to recruit an individual who shares our vision of student-centred learning, framed within an exciting and flexible curriculum.

We are a collaborative and supportive team and aim to recruit a like- minded individual who would enjoy the opportunity to deliver subjects at Key stages 3, 4 and possibly 5.

We set high standards for teaching and learning and our students have very good levels of attendance and engagement.

You will need to be an outstanding practitioner, committed to the best possible outcomes for young people, passionate about influencing educational best practice and able to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team of professionals.

Also, a flexible, enthusiastic and self-motivated teacher who is able to support forward thinking change and respond quickly to the needs of each young person we teach.

The successful candidate may have some responsibility for the integrated English curriculum as well as the pastoral care of a small tutor group supported by the Head of School.  Candidates with specialisms other than English are also encouraged to apply

This is an excellent opportunity for candidates from mainstream or specialist education or community provision who are looking to spend time teaching in a hospital specialist setting.

If you have relevant experience, possibly with relevant additional qualifications, then why not contact the Head of School, Lianne Watson for an informal chat on 01580 202 262.

Closing date is Monday 14th December 2020, with interviews to be held during the same week.
