Job overview

Castledon Sixth Form College is currently recruiting for a KS5 English Teacher full/part time (minimum 3 days)

Outer fringe MPR/ UPR with SEN1 allowance of £2085 

Contract Term: Permanent

Start date – September 2017

Application Close: 10/03/2017

Interview date 29th March 2017

Would you like to be involved in and build your career in a new Sixth Form College provision (opening September 2017) that is passionate about every individual child as well as their families? Are you willing to and have the ability to be mentally, emotionally and physically challenged, knowing that your input is making a lasting impact in a student’s life? Do you have a sense of humour to be positive even when you actually want to hide?  We are a committed team that thrives to deliver a curriculum to equip our students to “Unlocking potential for adulthood” and become as independent and resilient as possible within our society. We provide a supportive and safe environment to allow you to foster a “growth mindset”, be continually challenged and encouraged to try new class initiatives.

Successful candidates will have:

• A few tricks up their sleeves – you never know when you might have to come up with a new lesson because that plans you spent hours working on are just not going down well…

• Spandex – being resilient and flexible is key when you have researched every classroom strategy and your class is still not engaged…

• An array of footwear – because we believe learning is beyond the four walls of the classroom and one needs to be equipped for all our areas of learning.

• Light bulb moments - we are always looking for new ideas to improve our curriculum, clubs, social activities, coffee mornings and fundraising initiatives…. 

Essential values and beliefs

You will be expected to strive to maintain above average success rates in all areas, using innovation within your teaching and learning; utilising e-learning opportunities where appropriate. This is a fantastic opportunity to pass your specialist skills on to the next generation of young people with moderate learning difficulties and additional complex needs; including autism and communication needs. 

You will be expected to have a holistic approach to learning to prepare our young people for adult life. The successful candidate will endeavour to root English into the real world and utilise e-learning opportunities where appropriate. 

The suitable candidate will have the ability to deliver English from Entry Level to Level two qualifications (including GCSEs). Experience of working in an SEN school is not essential, therefore strong English teachers who have had experience adapting their teaching as part of an inclusive school will be perfect. Whilst the majority of the work is with learners aged 16-19, there may be some opportunities to work with learners in Key Stage 4 within the college facilities.

The role will require leading, delivering and co-ordinating lessons and curriculum to students who have barriers to learning and developmental difficulties. You will need to be committed to ensuring pupils make good progress and encourage pupils to reach their potential through engaging and stimulating teaching. It is important that you have good people skills as you will manage other staff within your lessons set targets, write reports and liaise with parents and external agencies.

In return we offer: 

Term dates and college opening hours are designed to allow you sufficient time to prepare to deliver academic qualifications (see the College tab on the website for more information). Staff can benefit from the bike to work scheme and childcare voucher scheme which supports with the expense of childcare. Wellbeing is a high priority and as such the school allows staff to benefit from Stress Counselling services. Our local secondary school has a gym that staffs are able to use straight after college for a minimal charge. We also offer a flu jab.

Castledon Sixth Form College is an equal opportunities employer and values diversity.  All appointments are based solely on the merit and abilities of each applicant regardless of age, gender, marital status, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic origin or disability. The welfare of our students and staff is paramount. We are committed to safeguarding (including the prevention of radicalisation) .The successful applicant must be able to demonstrate a commitment and knowledge in these areas and will be required to undertake appropriate checks as part of the recruitment process including DBS and referencing, as well as providing proof of your right to work in the UK.
