Job overview
We are looking for an enthusiastic and student centred Class Teacher who specialises in Science. The successful candidate will make an important contribution to continuing to raise standards, set high expectations and provide expertise and passion in equal measures to ensure innovative practice puts the school at the forefront of specialist education and intervention.
We offer excellent Key Stage 2, 3, and 4 provision for young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) and SLCN (Speech, Language and Communication Needs).
The successful applicant will be someone who can work with our young people to ensure their hard work in science gains the external accreditation and recognition it deserves at the end of KS4. To be part of our team you need to be dynamic, resilient and passionate about supporting students to achieve the skills and qualifications that will open doors for the rest of their lives.
We are looking for someone who has experience of successfully working with students who have complex and diverse needs including SEMH. They will also be able to demonstrate the enthusiasm and tenacity needed to work in a challenging but highly rewarding environment, alongside the highest professional standards in classroom practice.
You may have experience of working with students in a specialised setting, or you may be looking for your first role in an SEN school - you must however be motivated to make a positive difference to our students’ learning journey and care deeply about their academic achievement alongside their wellbeing and personal development.
This is a real time of growth and change as we join the Learn@ MAT and become The Sky Academy, providing education and support to young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs and/or Speech, Language and Communication Needs. We are also currently in the process of developing the site with a new build project providing an additional six classrooms and shared facilities which will increase the number of students we are able to support considerably.
Sky College is committed to Safeguarding and the welfare of its students. All staff share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an Enhanced Disclosure with the Disclosure and Barring Service.

The Sky Academy is a special school for boys between the ages of 10 and 17 from across Somerset who have an educational, health care plan for Social, Emotional or Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties and Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN). We have recently joined the Learn@ MAT which is a specialist trust serving the west of England with specialist education for children and young people who have a variety of needs.
We recognise the complexities of our young people and aim to provide each of them with a personalised provision to meet their needs incorporating both our therapeutic and academic curriculum.
Staff are experts in their field and are consistently challenging both students and themselves in order to overcome barriers to success and provide students with the tools they require to thrive.
This was recognised at the last Ofsted inspection where we identified as a ‘Good’ school.
We are working closely with the local authority to ensure Sky remains an integral part of their strategy. Further to a rebuild and refurbishment in 2014 which provided fantastic facilities we are currently working with the local authority to provide an additional building which will incorporate teaching spaces, a multi activity room and STEM room and increase the support we are able to provide young people with SEMH and SLCN across Somerset.
The school is based in Taunton which has a population of 65,000 and is known for its historic Monastery and Castle. Good transport links are available via the M5 and A303.
