Head of Kodesh & Secondary Jewish Studies Teacher

Gesher School is a unique all-through school providing a specialist, meaningful and functional learning environment for young people with special educational needs. This includes language, communication and social pragmatic difficulties. We have a specialism in autism spectrum challenges (ASC).

Young people are at the heart of Gesher School, where we foster a sense of belonging and community.  Our school offers a happy, safe, friendly, and stimulating environment in which young people are supported to learn, interact and have fun.  We believe that all young people have the potential to achieve, but that every child is individual and requires a tailored, young person-centred approach to learning.

The Gesher approach is warm, friendly and nurturing. Emotional health, resilience, and developing young people’s independence and learning is at the core of our vision. 

The ideal candidate will provide authentic, project-based and experiential learning opportunities for our students and will understand how to provide rigour and extended learning experiences within an innovative learning environment. Key to our strategic goal is to nurture our students’ passion for learning by creating an exciting, hands-on, and rigorous programme that uses technology and PBL to promote learning, creativity, and collaboration. 

Whilst previous experience in an SEN environment would be desirable, excellent teaching skills and the right motivation, personal qualities and level of resilience are just as important. Educated to degree level with Qualified Teacher Status, you will be calm, engaging, resilient and have an innovative style of teaching, motivated by helping every child to reach their potential.
