Inspire Academy

Inspire Academy, now part of the Rivermead Inclusive Trust, are seeking to appoint an exceptional and inspirational Teacher of Pupils with SEN.

Inspire Academy is a fast-paced, dynamic place to work, where the children are at the heart of everything we do. As a dedicated Special School supporting children with SEMH needs, our teachers are an integral part of the team and we require someone who is devoted to making a difference. Every pupil at Inspire has an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) with SEMH as their primary need, with many having experienced fragmented education and challenges that mainstream settings cannot always meet.

Inspire is proud to be part of Rivermead Inclusive Trust, a well-established organisation within the Medway community. This is an exciting time to join us as we embark on ambitious plans, including the development of a brand-new, state-of-the-art building for our learners, scheduled to open in the near future. This will increase our capacity, leading to good career opportunities for the right candidate.

Our mission is simple:
every child has the right to achieve

If you are looking for a new challenge and would like to be part of a great team, then please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a visit, or ask any questions.

The successful candidate will be an outstanding classroom practitioner with a proven track record of success and the ability to achieve the best outcomes for all pupils. We are particularly interested in candidates who share our commitment to improving the life chances of young people regardless of background.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to further their career as we are committed to fully supporting professional development and helping our colleagues achieve their career potential.
