We would like to recruit an individual who shares our vision of student-centred learning, framed within an exciting and flexible curriculum.  We are a collaborative and supportive team and aim to recruit a like-minded individual who would enjoy the opportunity to deliver subjects at Key stages 3, 4 and possibly 5.  We are keen to broaden our curriculum offer and would welcome ideas for strategic development.

We set high standards for teaching and learning and our students have very good levels of attendance and engagement.

The successful candidate will need to be an outstanding practitioner, committed to the best possible outcomes for young people, passionate about influencing educational best practice and able to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team of professionals.

At Priory Education we are proud of our reputation for delivering quality education and care services with positive outcomes for children and young people aged 5 to 25 who have experienced difficulties in their previous education placements.

North London Hospital School is an independent co-educational day school for young people aged 11 to 18 with mental health problems. Our students are all inpatients of the Tier 4 CAMHS Unit at The Priory Hospital North London, Southgate, London.  We have a team of specialist teachers and teaching assistants who deliver education to all young people at the hospital where the school is based.

It is our intention that every student develops their courage, determination and skills as a learner, so they can re-engage confidently with their education on discharge. We liaise with mainstream schools and colleges and each young person has an individualised curriculum plan in each subject area, with progress being closely monitored.  Our school offers a broad based academic and enrichment curriculum, with its own teaching spaces, teaching technologies and outside spaces.
