Secondary - Inclusion Teacher

Job overview

The Arbor School seeks a special individual for an exciting opportunity within our Secondary School. The successful candidate will play a key role in fulfilling the school's ecological and sustainability vision, while ensuring that every student is supported, challenged and empowered to achieve their full potential.

The Arbor School is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Secondary Inclusion Teacher to join our Learning Support and Enrichment Department from August 2027.

We are looking for a passionate and dedicated teacher with a strong understanding of inclusive education and a genuine commitment to supporting students with diverse learning needs. The successful applicant will demonstrate the ability to provide tailored learning experiences, promote independence and confidence, and work collaboratively with colleagues and families to ensure positive academic and personal outcomes for every student.

Enough For All, For Ever

The Arbor School opened in 2018 with a very different vision of what education could and should be - experiential, authentic and inspired by the natural beauty, human ingenuity, and profound ecological and social challenges of the Arabian Peninsula.

The cultivation of a learning community uniquely committed to understanding and restoring the health of ecological and human communities as interconnected parts of a whole requires equal parts optimism, ambition, and humility. A fundamental belief in the inherent goodness of people and their capacity to act with empathy and compassion underscores the sense of hope that is fundamental to learning for a sustainable future.

The resilience and determination to tackle challenges that have grown to global proportions are essential to finding sustainable solutions and orchestrating the social changes needed to grow them to scale. The realisation that comes from recognising that we are all students – never a master – drives our commitment to ignite a lifelong love of learning.

Recognising the interconnected nature of the cognitive, affective, and participative domains, and their roles in shaping learning, we are pursuing a holistic approach to teaching and learning, designed to prepare learners:

• To understand the interconnected concepts of sustainability, individual and collective well-being, and environmental and social justice.
• To find purpose, meaning and joy in their interactions with the natural world and with each other, and to seek to understand people who are different from themselves.
• To experience a sense of accomplishment and self-efficacy through their actions at home, in school and in the wider world.

The Arbor Promise

Arbor teachers are part of a community which is inclusive, fun-loving, and active. Arbor teachers enjoy authentic friendships with their colleagues, positive relationships with school leaders who care for their wellbeing, and are a team in the true sense.

Arbor teachers are resilient in the face of challenge, stable and calm in the face of change, and creative and flexible when solving problems. Arbor teachers bring their passions and interests to enrich our school and are clear that there is an expectation to do so.

We commit to meeting agreed deadlines, communicating proactively with an assumption of positive intent, and sharing a passion for providing an education of the highest quality to our students.

The successful candidate will be an experienced and compassionate Inclusion Teacher, responsible for supporting students with a diverse range of learning needs across the Secondary School.

Working closely with the Learning Support and Enrichment Department, classroom teachers, pastoral teams and parents, the successful candidate will develop and implement…
