Haybrook College Trust educates young people aged 11 to 16 who have challenging and complex Social, Emotional, and Mental Health difficulties (SEMH) or medical needs.

We nurture, engage and educate students who face barriers to learning by providing a range of high quality educational programmes, helping to make positive changes in the lives of young people and ensuring the best possible educational outcomes. Our aim is to help our pupils to make positive behaviour choices and become independent learners with positive futures. We also have a special school for young people with a range of social, emotional and mental health difficulties.

Working in an AP or specialist setting takes a special kind of person and is different from a mainstream school.

With an average of 8 pupils in a class and a shorter, but much more intense teaching day, it gives you the time and ability to get to know the pupils in-depth and support their needs to secure the best possible personal and educational outcomes.

You will be an energetic, highly resilient and adaptable individual with excellent creativity and flexibility of thinking to ensure challenges are met and problems are solved. A high level of understanding of SEMH, SEND, safeguarding, equality and fairness are as important as a good sense of humour, openness and compassion; all of which will be needed in this role to support our young people through these challenging times. The ability to communicate effectively with parents and outside agencies is essential.

About the role:

Working with the relevant Head of Centre and teaching colleagues, you will provide vision and drive for your subject, which will inspire and motivate young people, staff and all other members of the College community.
You will deliver your subjects to ensure that all the young people you teach make at least expected progress academically and towards becoming independent learners.
You will carry out the duties of this post in line with the remit outlined in the current School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document including the conditions of employment for teachers and the College policies.

This post is suitable for those with either a mainstream, AP or special school background, with a strong understanding of SEND and how to meet pupils’ needs. The post will be paid on the QTS preferred but we will consider an ECT or experienced unqualified teacher who demonstrates experience and passion for working with pupils with SEND.
