The Role: We are looking to fill two positions within the school:

  • KS2 Complex Needs & Medical Class:

This class consists of 7 students, all of whom are non-verbal and in wheelchairs. These students have complex medical needs, and the successful candidate will work closely with medical professionals and specialist support staff to provide an environment that caters to both their educational and physical needs.

This class also consists of non-verbal students, all of whom are ambulant. These pupils require tailored sensory learning approaches that engage them in a meaningful way. The successful candidate will work to develop sensory-rich lessons that help support the communication and social development of the students.

  • Implement personalized learning strategies that focus on sensory development, communication, and life skills.
  • Support students' communication through augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) methods.
  • Promote a safe, caring, and stimulating environment that enhances students' personal, social, and emotional development.
  • Maintain and monitor students' progress and adapt teaching strategies to ensure continuous development.
  • Contribute to the creation and review of Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and other relevant documentation.

Essential Requirements:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent, or experience working in a similar setting.
  • Experience teaching students with severe and profound learning difficulties, preferably within a secondary or special education setting.
  • Knowledge of a range of strategies for teaching non-verbal and ambulant students with complex needs.
  • Ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, including medical professionals, teaching assistants, and therapists.
  • A patient, empathetic, and flexible approach to teaching.
  • Strong communication skills, particularly in terms of using alternative communication methods (e.g., Makaton, PECS, or AAC devices).

Desirable Attributes:

  • Experience in supporting medical needs in the classroom, particularly with students who are wheelchair-bound.
  • Training or experience in the use of sensory integration techniques or sensory processing disorders.
  • Familiarity with working with students who require additional health and care support.

  • A rewarding role that makes a real difference in the lives of our students.
  • A committed team of staff who are dedicated to providing the best care and education for students with complex needs.
