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

SfIT is an independent therapeutic day school for pupils aged 5-16 years who have experienced childhood trauma and/or adverse childhood experiences, exhibiting Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties making it difficult for them to flourish within a mainstream setting.  We currently have two school sites in Devon (Newton Abbot and Ashburton) and to ensure we build the very best team; we would work to accommodate candidate preferences on both geographical role location and Key Stage (primary or secondary trained teachers to apply) or level in your career (applications from ECT’s and experienced teachers alike are welcomed).

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.

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.

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.

Application deadline: Monday 20th May
