Priory Education and Children’s Services is a leading company in the UK offering independent behavioural care for commissioners across the UK. 

With over 100 high quality schools, colleges and homes we focus on making a real and lasting difference for everyone we support.

Rossendale school is seeking a Food Studies and Art Teacher. This post is to cover maternity leave to start as soon as possible and will terminate at February half term 2020.

Rossendale is a school catering for the needs of pupils who display social, emotional and mental health difficulties and whose learning disability may be affected by an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Pupils will have either a Statement of SEN or an EHCP. 

The School provides education for young people aged from 7 – 18 years of age.  At Keystage 4 we currently offer up to 11 GCSE subjects (including Maths and Statistics), iGCSE in Further Maths, BTEC Awards in 4 subjects, plus 3 Functional Skills and Entry Level in 5 subject areas.  Given the disrupted nature of our pupils’ education, prior to their admission to Rossendale, we have had some outstanding examination results.  The school admits both boys and girls, both on daily and residential placements. 

As a subject in our curriculum the successful candidate will be expected to prepare and enter pupils for appropriate external examinations. 

The successful candidate will be expected to ensure that pupils’ special educational needs are being addressed, having due regard for the School's philosophy and policies.  The post holder will be expected to implement IEPs for pupils.

If you have experience of working with young people in a school setting, are flexible, imaginative and enthusiastic we would be pleased to hear from you.  Experience of working in a specialist school is not essential as the school runs its own extensive training programme.

If you require a job description please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Butler on rossendale@priorygroup.com.

Any candidates shortlisted will be invited to attend a informal Interview day on 20th June and if successful at this stage, a formal interview on 21st June.

For all roles we require a minimum of two references.  References provided must cover the last 3 years, or you are applying to work within our Children’s Homes we will need to request all references from where you have worked with either Children or Vulnerable Adults.

Please be advised that references will be requested prior to interview for all roles within our schools.
