Class Teacher

Found in: Talent UK 2 C2 - 2 weeks ago

Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds City Council Full time

Springwell Leeds Academy 

Classroom Teacher

South Site, Middleton Road LS10 3JA

Salary: MPS/UPS + SEN point 

We require an exceptional teacher who is passionate about providing the best possible education and care for vulnerable students. Our South site is part of a three-site SEMH provision in the city, which together form one 340-place special school, judged GOOD in all areas by Ofsted in 2019.

It is likely that this post will involve covering a range of classes across key stages to support provision of PPA/ECT time. As such, you will have experienced teachers both on site and across the city on hand for collaboration and support. 

Our children are grouped by their needs, across key stages 1 to 4. We work with children with SEMH as their primary need - many children have diagnoses or traits of Autism, ADHD, anxiety, hypervigilance, specific learning difficulties and more. Our main goal for each child is to meet their needs through working towards the outcomes in their EHCPs. 

All of our sites operate in line with best practice in an SEMH provision; we have a nurturing curriculum model with significant investment in therapeutic and wrap-around support for our students. We benefit from weekly input from a team of experts: a visiting counsellor, occupational therapist and educational psychologist. Our staff are experts, trained in play based therapy and learning, phonics and restorative practice. Being part of a group of schools, and of the Wellspring Academy Trust, there is great potential for support, professional development and promotion. Opportunity to specialise in intervention such as Catch Up, Lego Therapy or in a specific area of interest (such as ADHD/Autism) means that the career development opportunities are endless and this is a stepping stone to a career that could go in any direction. We support NPQs for our teachers as they start to specialise, and for our ECTs, we are committed to providing a full support package through Exceed. 

This position would suit a teacher with a proven track record of exceptional practice, who is able to work with vulnerable pupils with social, emotional and mental health difficulties. Equally, for a new teacher keen to make a difference, there is no more rewarding place to learn the craft of teaching than in a specialist school. The ability to be creative and use imaginative flair to engage is essential; no two days are the same, so the ability to be flexible and resilient in planning and approach are vital. Our staff know that having resilience, drive and high expectations to inspire students to achieve can be life changing.

This position would suit an individual who is passionate about making a real difference to students’ life chances and supporting them in achieving their potential in essential life skills and qualification routes, both of which are high priority here at Springwell.

We make a difference

About us

Springwell Leeds aims to provide the best possible care and education that we can for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Unconditional Positive Regard is at the centre of what we do and we are creating an academy that is welcoming, caring, safe, warm and believes that all its pupils can be supported and empowered to succeed. We are creating individual and personalised pathways for our students that are built around their varied needs which will help them achieve positive outcomes and prepare them for their onward destinations into continuing education, work or training. In order to achieve this, we have developed a curriculum that provides opportunities for academic progression as well as vocational learning, whilst being engaging, creative, and innovative.

We see strong relationships as the key to our success – with students, parents, carers and the wider community and we ensure that our academies are welcoming safe places for children to learn and prosper. We believe in working closely with our families and carers and welcome their support, but also realise that at times they will need our support too. We work closely with other agencies and schools to make sure we do all we can to make learning and life the best it possibly can be.

Working in partnership with Leeds City Council, we are building an exciting future and we need like-minded staff to join us in this unique opportunity. Our recent OFSTED confirms that we have made great progress over our first three years and have a strong platform on which to build. 

Springwell Leeds places a huge emphasis on professional development and invests significantly in staff training at all levels. This means that, although experience of working in an SEMH setting would be an advantage, specialist support and training will be provided for outstanding teachers wishing to make the career-fulfilling move into special education. We already have a number of ex-mainstream teachers who have successfully made this transition.
