Senior Teacher
Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we've developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our Council.
We're one of the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing, high-quality open space and rapid transport connections into the heart of the City.
An exciting opportunity has arisen within our school-based Specialist Education and Training Support Service (SEaTSS).
SEaTSS is a large multi-disciplinary Specialist Advisory Teacher team of over 60 staff members over 4 teams consisting of 4 Deputy Heads, 4 Senior Teachers and a Head of Service supported by a team of approximately 30 Advisory Specialist Teachers, 6 HTLA’s and 5 technicians.
We are looking to appoint two highly self-motivated individuals to support SEaTSS to develop and expand our service. The service is re-focussing its priorities, moving away from supporting children and young people with EHCPs towards a more flexible early intervention model.
The post holder will benefit from expertise and experience in working with children who have Autism/Social Communication needs and related co-occurring conditions and/or SEMH. We are looking for experienced teachers who have taught across different phases of education, supporting students with a range of additional learning needs. Advisory Teachers need to be well-versed in best practice strategies and supports to improve the inclusion of learners with SEND, and able to advise and model these strategies to school staff.
If you have been a SENCO, Specialist Teacher or SEND Teacher and have experience in delivering training and interventions, or similar experience, then this may be the opportunity for you. We are looking for people who can provide a positive, open and creative problem-solving approach to add to our already extensive skill base. In return, we can offer you wide ranging training and a supportive ethos which we feel will develop your professional knowledge.
No two days will ever be the same in SEaTSS so if you are looking for a new challenge come and join us!
To apply for this post, you must submit an online application form along with uploading a copy of your CV and cover letter.
