Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) Teacher
TLR2a currently £3390 per annum paid in addition to main salary
This is a unique and very exciting opportunity for the Academy to recruit a teacher (0.6 – 3 days a week) to our recently opened Specialist Resource Provision – the Flourish Centre. This post offers an excellent opportunity for a well-qualified and inspirational specialist teacher, to work within an innovative and successful SEND team ; part of the Academy’s wider inclusion provision.
Our specialist provision for autistic students had a soft launch in September 2023 with three students. Currently there are six students who regularly access the Flourish Centre with this number anticipated to rise in September 2025 with the arrival of our new year 7 cohort (maximum capacity of 12 students).
Our Flourish Centre is located in a light and airy area of the Academy in two purpose built rooms. One space is equipped to support students in developing life skills and the other area is more of a teaching space with an attached sensory room and staff office. The Flourish Centre is also an important space at break and lunch times for students with SEND.
All students in the Flourish Centre have an EHCP and require some ‘over teaching’ in core subject areas in addition to accessing as much mainstream provision as appropriate. You will be responsible for the delivery of numeracy and literacy teaching but also across a number of subjects. You will take ownership of this wonderful space and ensure that, working under the leadership of our SENDCo, the provision in the Flourish Centre is high quality; meets the needs of our autistic students and supports their progress.
In addition, you will also work closely with members of the Leadership team to ensure all Academy staff are well trained and equipped to better support autistic students across the Academy. You will be well supported by the AP for Teaching and Learning as well as the SENDCo and our excellent team of teaching assistants and HLTAs who will work closely with you.
We invite applications from candidates with the following attributes for this role:
- It is likely you will be in the first three to five years of your teaching career.
- Experience of working with autistic students would be desirable or an interest in developing expertise in this area.
- A clear understanding and knowledge of best practice and the challenges relating to inclusion in mainstream education.
- Ambition to develop each student to their maximum potential.
- Flexible and approachable, resilient and calm under pressure, and demonstrating good judgement.
