Key Stage 3 English Teacher

Thinking of a role to further your teaching career? Are you ready for a new challenge?

New River College Secondary (KS3) can provide both.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated English teacher (KS3) who is looking for a new challenge and has a flexible approach, to join a committed team at New River College.

The post holder will need to be a confident and effective teacher who can deliver exciting and fun lessons. We are looking for teachers who relish a challenge, who want to try new ideas and who genuinely want to contribute to the lives of young people with drive and passion. Ability to engage children with SEN is more important than the phase you are used to teaching so both primary and secondary trained teachers are encouraged to apply.

The ability to teach complementary subjects such as PSHE would be desirable although not essential. Candidates with primary teaching experience will also be considered as many of our pupils are below national age related literacy and numeracy levels when they arrive.

New River College comprises of three pupil referral units in Islington (primary, secondary and medical), for pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD). We teach children and young people aged five to sixteen years old who have been permanently excluded or participate in our preventative programmes to address their behaviour, and children and young people with complex SEBD or medical needs.

Closing date: Midnight Thursday 2nd February 2017
