We are seeking a Construction Unqualified Teacher at our Transition centre based in Wallington. Specialising in both social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties and autism (ASC), at Fair Ways School, our primary focus is for staff to support students in their transitional period either to full-time education or towards a working career. This is achieved in collaboration with their Education Health Plan (EHP).

• Individualised lesson planning, delivery of lessons, marking of work and knowing when and how to differentiate appropriately using approaches which enable students to be taught effectively.
• Helping young people draw up action plans for employment, education and training and support them to achieve these goals. This will include a high standard of planning and delivery of the programme whilst supporting the individual needs of the student.
• Participating in the completion and monitoring of all student assessments and being accountable for student’s attainment, progress, and outcomes with your subject area.
• Supporting the implementation and delivery of each student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) and Personal Education Plan (PEP) by providing relevant data to monitor progress, set targets and plan lessons.
• Liaising and negotiating with Employers, Colleges, Universities, and training providers to provide the best opportunities for our students.
• Demonstrating an understanding of, and a willingness to learn, how the young people’s early life experiences and how such experiences may result in, or contribute to, severe challenging behaviour.
• Recognising and accepting the possible need to intervene using positive handling strategies to make incidents safe, and to work as part of a consistent team.
