Are you looking for a fresh challenge?
We are an Alternative Provision school spread across 4 campuses; each catering to students with specific Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. This means we think of our students as individuals and respond to their needs as such. Our aim for our students is for them to become knowledgeable, self-aware, independent and happy people who make a positive difference, wherever life takes them. Some of the fundamentals we draw on include PACE, Solution-focussed brief therapy, Growth Mindset, Unconditional Positive Regard and Restorative Justice. Some knowledge of these approaches is desirable but not essential.
Are you looking to improve your work/life balance?
We know working in schools can be stressful and it is easy to give over a lot of your personal time to work. We strongly believe that work should not take over every aspect of your life in order to support both your physical and mental health. And so;
- We limit paperwork and meetings to the necessary,
- Finish at 1pm on a Friday,
- Have a robust staff wellbeing programme in place that is constantly evolving,
- We ensure training is meaningful and given time to embed.
