We require x1 Classroom Tutor to work with students with moderate and complex learning difficulties.

Meadow High School is a successful Special School for children with Moderate Learning Difficulties (currently 257 pupils on roll). Many pupils have Complex Learning Needs, including Autism. Our success has been consistently identified in all our Ofsted inspections. 

We are seeking a teacher who has a passion for teaching Food Technology and is willing to embrace the school’s vision, to enable and empower our pupils with lifelong skills and enable as many as possible to enter the world of work and reach the highest levels of independence in adult life.

We are looking for applicants who hold Qualified Teacher Status and preferably have experience in an SEN setting or working with young people who have learning disabilities. ECT’s are welcome. Candidates with UPS will need to demonstrate how they could continue to offer a whole school impact.  

The successful applicants will also be a form tutor to a tutor group and will be required to write and conduct Annual Reviews of their tutor group’s EHCPs as well as monitor pupils progress against the EHCP outcomes.

We wish to appoint candidates with:

• The ability to be a team player; 
• Be flexible and adaptable;
• An ability to teach across a range of subjects and be able to offer some subject specialism;
• A positive can do attitude;
• An understanding of how SEN can impact on learners;

• Good organisational skills;
• The ability to differentiate work for a range of learning needs and abilities;
• A highly structured approach to teaching suited to the needs of pupils with ASD and other learning difficulties;
