Job overview
Teacher of Humanities – Permanent, full-time post
Location: Rodmell, East Sussex - near Brighton and Lewes
Salary: Teachers Main Scale
Start Date: September 2021
Northease Manor School are looking to recruit a Teacher of Humanities (prominently Geography and History, currently also a little Citizenship is taught within this role).
Northease Manor is an independent school for children with a variety of specific learning difficulties who have struggled in mainstream schools. Situated just south of Lewes in East Sussex, the school’s centrepiece is a 17th century manor house set in 12 acres of grounds, surrounded by the rolling countryside of the South Downs. This gives the school a spectacular campus along with plenty of room for sports and outdoor activities. The coast is just four miles away.
In 2018 Northease was shortlisted for Independent School of the Year. Such is Northease Manor’s reputation that jobs here are highly sought after, but an opportunity has arisen to work as a Teacher in this extraordinary independent school from September 2021.
Northease Manor is a registered charity and most of the pupils are funded by their local education authorities, although a small and growing number of parents pay the fees themselves. The school is growing and numbers of pupils are expanding so this is an exciting time to join the team.
Northease is a wonderful place to work. ‘The behaviour of pupils is often truly impressive, and is outstanding overall’. ‘Almost all are unfailingly polite and courteous’ (latest OFSTED report), colleagues are inclusive, happy, fun and deeply committed, and the School is set in the most beautiful surroundings imaginable. Not only that, the team enjoy excellent personal terms which include small class sizes, TPS (for teachers) long holidays and free lunches, as well as a genuine comment to staff wellbeing and career development. This post also includes the possibility of subsidised accommodation. A recently appointed member of staff said ‘This is by far the best job that I have ever had...’
Staff wellbeing is a top priority at Northease Manor and we offer a comprehensive wellbeing package including an Employee Assist programme, Eyecare plan and a free lunch every day.
More details about the school and about this post can be found on the school’s website www.northease.co.uk but if you have energy, enthusiasm and a burning passion to make a difference, and if you are inspired by School’s nurturing, holistic, accepting approach, this could be the perfect job for you.
Northease Manor is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to obtain an enhanced DBS disclosure.
Closing date: 23rd May 2021
Interview date: 26/27th May 2021

About Northease Manor School
Northease Manor School is an Independent Specialist School approved by the DfE as a co-educational day school for students primarily with Autism and / or Dyslexia or those who present with these type of difficulties. Alongside these, students have other co-occurring difficulties including ADHD, DCD and sensory processing differences. The majority of our students are working at or have the potential to work at age related expectations (or just below) across a range of subjects, follow a differentiated National Curriculum and access GCSE or equivalent qualifications.
We are known and respected for providing high quality teaching, therapy and pastoral support. We promote and recognise that each student is an individual with individual needs, acknowledging that a diagnosis will only provide part of the picture for each student. Our integrated approach to therapy and small teaching classes coupled with the small and close community we have here at Northease, enables us to build excellent relationships and understand students as a whole; we use that knowledge and understanding to ensure the best outcomes for each student. Our aim is to provide the best of what a mainstream setting can offer in terms of a broad and balanced curriculum and excellent educational outcomes within a calm and low arousal environment and with an additional focus of developing essential life skills. The majority of our students have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and their placement is funded through their local authority.
Our location, a spacious country site built round an 18th century manor house, gives everyone room to grow and develop in a school with a true community and family feel. We are an easy commute from Brighton, Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne.
Our most recent Ofsted report (March 2018), where we were rated good across all areas says: ‘A strong theme that emerged was the major difference that Northease Manor makes to pupils’ confidence, well-being and self-esteem. In describing these and similar aspects of the school’s work, parents repeatedly used words such as ‘amazing’, ‘exceptional’, ‘thriving’ and ‘transformed’. One parent summed up the sentiment of many by writing simply: ‘The school changed my child’s life and gave us hope… Very effective use of training, including working in close partnership with the therapy team, is supporting improvements well’
