KS2 (Year 6) SEN Teacher (Maternity Cover)

St Dominic’s School is a special academy in Surrey and provides outstanding education for pupils and students aged 7-19 typically with a primary diagnosis of Speech Language & Communication Needs and/or Autistic Spectrum Condition. The school is located in Hambledon, close to Witley, Milford, Guildford and Godalming.

We are part of Orchard Hill College & Academy Trust (OHC&AT), a specialist Trust with 12 Academies and 7 College Centres across London, Surrey and Sussex. 

At St Dominic’s we believe passionately in a multi-disciplinary, ‘needs led’ approach to meeting each child’s and young person’s needs, resulting in carefully managed groupings, including specialist intervention work from our in house therapeutic team. 

The school works closely in partnership with families, referring authorities and external agencies to coordinate the best possible education, care, guidance and support for its pupils and students. 

We are looking to appoint a motivated and enthusiastic teacher who is able to deliver a primary style model of teaching and learning to Year 6 pupils with a range of needs. 

Candidates must be able to convey core subjects and topic-based learning to pupils and students who have a range of abilities and monitor and assess to ensure the best possible progress. The successful candidate will have a commitment to developing outstanding practice and the desire and drive to improve educational outcomes and life chances for our very special pupils and students.

Applications are welcome from qualified primary teachers, preferably with experience in KS2 who have the ability to think creatively and are resilient and motivated by challenges.  

Experience of working within a SEN setting is desirable but not essential.
