How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four*?

Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).

If the trial is a success, we’ll be rolling the 4DWW out across the Group – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join #teamOFG

Job Title: SEND Teacher

Location: The Holden School, Leigh

Salary: Up to £35,000.00 per annum (dependent on experience)

Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday

Contract: Permanent. Term Time only

Essential: QTS and a Specialism in Mathematics

UK Applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.

**Please be aware that any candidates for this role MUST have a Specialism in Mathematics**

Are you looking for a new and exciting opportunity to be part of an excellent Team in a friendly and expanding specialist school? If so, we have the perfect role for you.

Due to our continued success and growth, we are looking for an enthusiastic Teacher to join our fantastic Team at The Holden School.

About the role

As one of our SEND Teachers, you will take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of the school curriculum in a way that maximises pupil's achievement and ability to develop, supported by the school and Outcomes First Group’s national support team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to spend less time on paperwork and more time developing creative learning opportunities for pupils with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened, to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.

When it comes to looking after our pupils, we never settle for second best. We are looking for a SEND Class Teacher experienced in a range of teaching styles and who shares our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable students in the UK to be happy and to make their way in the world.

Whilst previous experience of working in an SEN/ASC environment would be desirable, excellent teaching skills and the right motivation, personal qualities and levels of resilience are just as important. Appropriate training can be offered to a successful applicant.

Educated to degree level and/or of Qualified Teacher Status, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, and have an innovative style of teaching, motivated by helping every pupil reach their potential.

Our schools are built on great teamwork and mutual support. If you enjoy working as part of a dedicated team, sharing knowledge, experience and learning, simply fill in our safeguarding-compliant application form and a member of our team will be in touch.
