Science Teacher

Overview

Science Teacher :
Transition into SEND

Ready to swap crowd control for true connection? If you are a mainstream Science Teacher feeling like you spend more time managing a room of 30 than actually teaching, this is the career pivot youve been looking for. Join us in Chaldon, Surrey, in our brand-new specialist secondary school. Here, we dont just manage classes; we build environments where students with autism and complex needs can finally thrive.

Moving from a mainstream setting to our school means trading one:size:fits:all teaching for a truly personalised approach.

• Small Classes, Big Impact:
  You will work with small groups, supported by a dedicated multi-disciplinary team, allowing you to actually see the progress each child makes.
• A Start-Up Feel:
  As a founding member of our team, you will help shape the Science curriculum and school ethos from the ground up.
• Holistic Teaching:
  You arent just hitting GCSE targets; you are teaching life skills, emotional regulation, and social communication through the lens of Science.
• Expert Support:
  Youll work alongside therapists and SEND specialists, gaining an incredible new toolkit for your teaching career.

As our Science Teacher, you will deliver high-quality, engaging lessons tailored to students with social communication and sensory processing needs. Your focus is on the whole child:their welfare and outcomes are just as important as their academic progress.

• Personalising Science:
  Differentiating the National Curriculum to spark curiosity in students with a wide range of needs.
• Collaborating:
  Working with parents, carers, and outside agencies to ensure every student has a cohesive support plan.
• Mentoring:
  Supervising support staff and providing subject leadership across the school.
• Planning for Success:
  Using short, medium, and long-term plans to create a stable, structured learning environment.

You dont need to be an SEND expert yet:we value your subject knowledge and your passion for teaching. We are looking for:

• QTS/PGCE:
  You must be a Qualified Teacher.
• Resilience:
  The ability to stay calm, reflective, and non-confrontational in challenging moments.
• Creativity: A knack for making Science accessible and exciting for students with complex needs.
• A Commuters Mindset:
  Due to our beautiful (but rural) location, a driving license is highly desirable.
