We are looking for an inspirational Teacher to play a vital role in a truly unique and exciting opportunity, to shape a growing school and help foster a truly exceptional learning environment.  Mountfield Heath School is an independent special educational needs provision for 32 pupils aged 5-12, located in Robertsbridge, East Sussex.

As a teacher, this is a truly unique and exciting opportunity to help shape a growing school, and help create a truly exceptional learning environment, to support and develop our pupils. You will have the opportunity to create and tailor the curriculum as well as access high quality CPD to help pursue your own personal goals.


About the Group:

We are part of Acorn Care and Education and can promise you plenty of challenges, and a rich variety of opportunities to develop your career.

We provide Education and Care across a number of schools and residential homes nationally. Our specialist SEN provision, coupled with our expertise within residential care means we offer thousands of vulnerable children and young people across the UK a holistic, wraparound care, residential and education service, empowering them with everything they need to flourish. It is by no accident that 94% of our homes are rated as Outstanding or Good.

We welcome staff who share our commitment to help children experience better days and better lives. Through ongoing development and training, we ensure our staff are well prepared for their jobs and given every opportunity to extend their skills.

Acorn Care and Education is part of the Outcomes First Group.


About the Role:

Mountfield Heath School will cater for children aged 5 -12 and aims to achieve an occupancy of 32 pupils.  You will be responsible for planning and delivering subjects across the curriculum. Differentiation and individualised learning strategies are vital skills required to meet the needs of all our pupils who will have had varying degrees of success in their educational lives. Our aim is to change young people’s lives and through the use of accredited courses, we will always provide our pupils with the best possible opportunities to succeed beyond Mountfield Heath School.


Who we are looking for?

Just as important as academic achievement is the social & emotional development of our pupils.  We want our pupils to be successful citizens and positively contribute to their local communities, it will therefore be imperative to provide opportunities to advance these skills. Along with this, the use of personalised curriculums and positive reinforcement will underpin your everyday practice.  Early Years’ experience would be preferential.

This can be a challenging environment and therefore, determination and resiliency are key characteristics for the post. We are seeking an experienced teacher with an understanding of SEMH and ASD, allowing the successful candidate to immediately form positive relationships and adapt to the needs of the pupils. However, we invest heavily in teacher development and want staff who endeavour to achieve more.


If you are passionate about this truly unique and rewarding sector and have the energy, drive and desire to motivate our pupils and ensure they achieve the best possible outcomes, then we welcome your application.

This position is due to commence in September (subject to approved reference/DBS checks). 

Closing Date 18th June 2020, if you have any further queries regarding how to apply please email office@mountfieldheathschool.co.uk or call 01323 914600.

Acorn Care and Education are committed to the safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
