An exciting opportunity has arisen for an exceptional teacher to join our specialist SEND provision,
The Blossom Tree
.

We are seeking to appoint a caring, highly skilled and enthusiastic Class Teacher who is passionate about enabling children with additional needs to thrive both academically and personally. This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in a bespoke provision where relationships, communication, nurture and high aspirations are at the heart of everything we do.

The Blossom Tree is a specialist provision for a small cohort of pupils with a range of complex additional needs. Whilst many pupils have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the provision is not limited to children with ASD and supports pupils with a variety of communication, interaction, sensory, learning and social-emotional needs.

Children within The Blossom Tree benefit from a highly personalised curriculum tailored to their individual strengths, interests and Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) outcomes. Through specialist teaching, nurturing relationships and carefully planned support, pupils develop the confidence, communication skills and independence needed to achieve success and participate fully in school life.

A key aim of the provision is to enable pupils to access appropriate opportunities within mainstream classrooms and the wider school community, ensuring they feel included, valued and successful.

As Class Teacher, you will share the classroom teaching with our Deputy Inclusion Lead of a small class of between 4 and 10 pupils, creating a safe, structured and nurturing environment in which children can flourish.

You will plan and deliver a bespoke curriculum that responds to pupils' individual needs and EHCP outcomes, while promoting communication, emotional regulation, self-esteem, independence and academic achievement. Working alongside experienced support staff, families and external professionals, you will ensure every pupil receives the support they need to make meaningful progress.

The successful candidate will be committed to developing a deep understanding of each child and will have the ability to adapt teaching, communication and learning approaches to remove barriers to success.
