Class Teacher (English Specialism)

Class Teacher (English Specialism)

Salary: Main Pay Scale 1 – 6

Hours: Full time, Permanent

Required for September 2024

School for Inspiring Talents (SfIT) is keen to appoint a class teacher with a passion for English to nurture our unique cohort of students; engaging and inspiring them with exceptional learning and teaching that overcomes barriers and sets high expectations.

We currently have two school sites in Devon (Newton Abbot and Ashburton) but this role would be based at our Ashburton site with our older students. Despite students chronological ages, we would welcome applications from primary or secondary trained teachers as our students are working at a primary or lower GCSE level in English.

You will be proactive, resilient, and committed to striving for excellence, putting our students first in every aspect of school life. Our ideal candidate is someone who will understand the relational and therapeutic approach we take in supporting our students, always remaining professionally curious and knowing that behaviour is communication. You will also understand the need for our students to be engaged with their learning, thinking creatively to ensure tasks are purposeful and help to develop life skills along with a love of literature.

This vacancy has come about due to our school becoming part of Outcomes First Group and having the ability to expand. This, therefore, is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic group of colleagues within a growing organisation, with the potential for further career opportunities and personal development. We welcome applications from teachers early in their career who have the capability and ambition to be Subject Leads or from experienced Subject Leads who can make a lasting difference by helping us to develop our English offering especially in KS3/4.  

Visits to our school to meet our team and students are actively encouraged; please email Sophie Warwick (s.warwick@sfit.org.uk) to arrange a tour or with any further queries you may have.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. This role requires an enhanced DBS disclosure.

Please complete the application form sfit.org.uk (CVs will NOT be accepted) and submit to: hr@sfit.org.uk

Application deadline: Monday 20th May

Interview date: Wednesday 22nd May
