Thatcham UK, West Berkshire, United Kingdom Phoenix Learning & Care Group Full time

Job Title: Science Teacher (SEND)

Job Location: The Grange School, Thatcham (RG2)

Salary: Between £26,250 and £37,800 per annum depending on experience, based on working 40 hours per week, 39.2 weeks of the year.

Contract Type: Permanent


Every young pupil deserves the right to access meaningful education. However, some pupils may require additional support to engage in their education which is built around their needs, skills, and interests. That’s where you come in. As a teacher, you’ll work with neurodiverse children and young people (Aged between 11 - 14) who may have additional needs relating to communication and interaction, cognition and learning, sensory and/or physical needs.


You will teach Science within our secondary provision, delivering sessions to small groups or supporting individual pupils. As we’re a small school, you may need to teach other subjects as part of your role.


Our curriculum is tailored to each pupil, rather than taking a conventional mainstream approach and as such learning is based on individual needs, goals, strengths, and aspirations. Whilst some of our pupils will progress to formal qualifications, we also measure success in other ways by taking a holistic approach to education - supporting children with their social, emotional and mental health development, and providing opportunities to gain transferable life skills that are essential for their transition into adulthood.


Typically, classes are made up of five pupils which will provide you with the opportunity to develop positive relationships with the pupils you support and to connect with them.


A day in the life of a Science Teacher will involve:

  • Leading classroom activities including planning, teaching and assessing learning, particularly with ‘your’ class. This might involve teaching a range of curriculum areas and providing pastoral support.
  • Monitoring and recording progress, both academically and against EHCP outcomes.
  • Working closely with pupils to maintain their engagement, motivation and to inspire them to reach their full potential.
  • Supporting individual pupils or smaller groups to help them achieve their learning goals.
  • Fostering positive relationships with Teaching Assistants in the school and ensuring that the team around the pupil is effective.
  • Supporting team members with delivery of Science across the school.


To be a successful Science Teacher, you’ll need:

  • An ability to teach Science to Level 2 (GCSE/Functional Skills).
  • Patience, compassion and resilience in how you interact with our pupils and team members.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills are important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times.
  • A driving licence and a willingness to take pupils on trips within the school vehicles.
  • A genuine interest in a career within this sector.


In return for your time, you’ll get:

  • Holidays – You’ll only work term time (39.2 weeks), and get paid the additional 12.8 weeks whilst you’re off.
  • Pension scheme– Our pension scheme is based on you paying in 5%, and us adding 3%.
  • Learning & Development Opportunities – We provide comprehensive learning opportunities for team members to develop themselves.
  • Discounts – You’ll have access to brilliant discounts through the Blue Light Card and our own employee benefits platform.
  • Wellbeing Support – Your wellbeing is always our priority. You’ll have access to mental health and wellbeing support. On top of this, our therapies team offers a monthly confidential check in clinic, and group reflective practice sessions.
  • Cycle2Work -The cycle to work scheme enables you to buy a bicycle at a discounted rate.
  • DBS – As this role required you to have an enhanced DBS carried out, we will cover this cost.


After 12 months service, you’ll also be eligible for our Medicash scheme which covers a wide range of medical, health and wellbeing expenses (including immediate access to a GP). You’ll get life assurance paid at x2 your annual salary and even more high street discounts.


At Phoenix Learning and Care, we pride ourselves on our diverse workforce, and ensuring we have an inclusive environment for all our team members. We remain committed to ensuring our teams can bring their true selves to work without risk or fear of discrimination.


Please note that as part of our safer recruitment processes, successful applicants will be subject to pre-employment checks including an enhanced disclosure and barring service (DBS) check and reference validation.
