Specialist Literacy Teacher (SpLD)

Wootton Academy Trust [WAT] consists of Wootton Upper School, which has 900 pupils in Years 9-11 and Kimberley 16-19 College.

WAT is a happy, successful Trust and we are seeking to appoint someone to join our team and make a positive impact on learners’ lives. Staff here are supportive, caring and committed to a collaborative approach to teaching and learning. As a new member of staff, you can expect a warm welcome and a wide range of CPD opportunities to develop your practice and career.

We have a new opportunity for a qualified specialist teacher in SpLD to work in our busy Learning SEND Department. 

The post holder will be a member of the Trust’s Student Support Team working under the supervision and direction/guidance of our SENDCo. You will support pupils who are on the SEND register with weekly lessons to teach them study skills to support their profile and to assess for Access Arrangements. You will be required to work in a variety of ways to ensure that our learners with additional needs are fully included in the life of the learning community and have equal opportunity to fulfil their full potential.

Closing Date: Open until filled. Applications will be assessed upon receipt and we reserve the right to interview and appoint prior to the closing date. An early application is therefore recommended.

Applicants must complete the Trust’s application form - we cannot accept CVs. An Application Form and recruitment information can be downloaded from our website www.woottonupper.co.uk or requested by email from recruitment@wootton.beds.sch.uk.

Please return the completed Application Form either by email to recruitment@wootton.beds.sch.uk or by post to the HR Department, Wootton Academy Trust, Hall End Road, Wootton, Bedfordshire, MK43 9HT.

Wootton Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
