Are you a teacher who sees the child before the challenge? Do believe that building a relationship is just as important as delivering a lesson?
At Kent Teaching Solutions, we are proud to be recruiting for a truly special Independent Boys’ School that breaks the mould of traditional education. This isn’t just a school; it’s a therapeutic community designed for boys with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs who have, through no fault of their own, found themselves in this specialist school.
We are looking for a Part-Time Core Subjects Teacher who can bring English, Maths, and Science to life through a nurturing, holistic lens.
The School Ethos
This school prioritises the "whole child." Their approach is trauma-informed, meaning they look past the behaviour to understand the child’s needs. With small class sizes (typically 4–6 pupils) and a high ratio of therapeutic staff, you will have the time, space, and support to actually teach rather than just manage a classroom.
The Role
As a Core Subjects Teacher, your mission is to re-engage learners who may have had negative experiences with education. You will:
* Deliver Bespoke Lessons: Create highly engaging, adapted sessions in Core Subjects that cater to individual EHCP targets.
* Prioritise Wellbeing: Work within a "nurture" framework where emotional regulation and self-esteem are given as much weight as academic progress.
* Collaborate for Success: Liaise daily with a multidisciplinary team of therapists, SENCOs, and dedicated TAs to provide a 360-degree support system for every boy.
* Foster Growth: Be a consistent, calm, and positive role model for students who need stability and empathy.
What We’re Looking For
* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS is preferred, though we welcome highly experienced instructors with a proven track record in SEN.
* A Holistic Mindset: You understand that a child cannot learn if they don’t feel safe. You are patient, adaptable, and emotionally resilient.
* Subject Versatility: The ability to deliver English, Maths, and Science at a functional or GCSE level (tailored to the student's ability).
* SEMH Experience: Previous experience in an SEMH, PRU, or Alternative Provision setting is a huge advantage, but we also welcome mainstream teachers with a genuine heart for SEN
