Teacher

Teachers, Maidstone, Kent.

Inspirational Teachers required at this very special school from September 2014.

Are you adaptable and able to bring out the best in our pupils with special talents, aged 4 - 19, with severe, profound or complex needs?

Five Acre Wood is a successful outward looking and expanding District Special School based over 2 sites in Maidstone, Kent. We currently have 220 pupils on roll aged 4-19 years with profound, severe and complex needs. The school will continue to expand and we are looking for people with a positive approach to join us who share our vision of providing excellence for all of our students.

Due to an increase in pupil numbers in September 2014, we require an ASD Teacher, a PMLD teacher and a SLD Teacher to join our successful school. We are looking for drive, enthusiasm and potential to join our friendly, professional, positive and forward looking school. You will be an excellent classroom practitioner. This is a great opportunity to develop your career by building on your current success.

The successful candidates will either be experienced and successful teachers who enjoy team working and taking responsibility or NQT's who can demonstrate they are going to add to the school. You will benefit from opportunities for further professional development and career progression as we value and support staff in all aspects of school life. The successful candidates will also have a strong commitment to inclusive principles and be committed to safeguarding children and young people.

In September 2013 we recruited 4 NQT's who have benefitted from our outstanding NQT programme and from having a support group to work with. We have a comprehensive induction programme for all staff and a very supportive leadership team.

You are very welcome to email ( headteacher@five-acre.kent.sch.uk ) or ring for an informal conversation with me. If you are interested in applying please complete the application form.
