SEN Teacher Primary (with potential SENCO responsibility for the right candidate)

Founded in 1970, Campion’s purpose is to provide a first-class education for boys and girls aged between three and eighteen, fostering abilities both in the field of academic and general education, and in sporting activities and the performing arts. It is the school’s intention to educate the whole person in the hope of developing responsible world citizens of good character. The school ultimately aims to prepare students for university education in Britain, North America and worldwide. Our most recent ISI inspection judged Campion to be excellent in every category.

Due to staff retirement, we are seeking to appoint a fully qualified and experienced SEN teacher with the potential to include the role of SENCO for the right candidate.

The successful applicant will be responsible for teaching children with SEN in the Junior School and should have experience teaching children with SEN within a British/international school environment. Teaching responsibilities may involve either individuals or small groups of pupils within, or outside, the classroom. This rewarding role requires a candidate who is dedicated to providing rich and well-planned learning programmes for SEN pupils. In addition to teaching duties, the ideal candidate will support teachers to develop and implement effective teaching and behaviour management approaches in their own classrooms and take on the role as SENCO.

Campion is committed to the continual professional development of its staff and relevant training is available to the successful candidate.

What we are looking for:

• a commitment to support, motivate and engage children with SEN
• a proven record of working in the SEN setting and a sound theoretical and practical knowledge of special education in the primary setting
• a patient, understanding and empathetic approach to children with SEN and their families
• a strong team player, who can liaise with parents, staff members at all levels and other professionals
• flexibility and the ability to work on your own initiative
• excellent organisational skills
• e-learning and IT competency
• proven leadership skills in order to develop and lead the implementation of the school's SEN strategy and policy are an advantage
• a sense of humour

Please apply by email, including a current CV, contact details of two professional referees and a letter of application, to the Headmaster, Duncan Rose, headmaster@campion.edu.gr . Applications should be submitted no later than Friday 23rd April 2021. Interviews will happen shortly afterwards. However, we reserve the right to invite candidates for interview prior to the closing date and to close vacancies early if we have sufficient suitable candidates. Therefore, we encourage interested applicants to submit an application as soon as possible.
