Hilltop is a designated 2-19 special day school for pupils with severe and profound and/or multiple learning difficulties.

We are situated across two sites in Rotherham:
Hilltop site in Maltby and Hilltop Forest View site in Rawmarsh. Each site is designated to meet pupils' needs via its curriculum offer. Pupils generally attend the Maltby site for key stages 1 and 2 of their education. For key stage 3 to 5 pupils, EHCP plans are reviewed, and the school considers which site is best suited to meet their educational needs.

You can help create a forward thinking, innovative culture where pupils and staff can truly flourish. Our ambition and yours will be that Hilltop is a centre of excellence for both the specialist provision and for promoting the latest inclusive practices across education.

Our children and young people at Hilltop deserve an education that will change their lives and give them the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Staff employed in our Academy Trust enjoy a fulfilling career and we focus on releasing your potential and maximising your impact.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an award winning Multi Academy Trust and be part of a welcoming and supportive team that serves amazing children and young people. Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016, with 19 unique SEND and mainstream academies.

We are a growing, forward thinking and innovative Trust with a shared ethos, vision and values for a personalised child centred approach. We are committed and invested in “Learning together, to be the best we can be” and it is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.

We are seeking to appoint highly motivated, enthusiastic, hardworking and flexible Teachers to join a team of dedicated staff who are committed to providing excellent learning opportunities and become part of a successful team in a busy working environment.

We want individuals who have a passion for working with young children with complex and multiple learning difficulties; for individuals who believe in personalising learning to meet needs and place children at the centre of their work. If you feel you have these skills, we very much welcome your application.

We welcome applications from experienced Teachers who have worked within a mainstream or specialist setting. Interested persons must have a real drive to make a difference in children’s lives, you must be able to provide our children with aspirations for their futures along with promoting a positive culture in everything you do.

Knowledge of SEN will be advantageous and you must be able to respond to the emotional, social and mental health needs of our children and young people. You will be required to ensure the safety of our children and young people and facilitate their access to learning by planning and teaching engaging lessons to meet individual needs. You will make judgements on the attainment and progress of our students and be able to help them celebrate success.

You will be working as part of a departmental team and will be expected to lead a team of teaching assistants. Staff at Hilltop go the extra mile, is that you? You, will be part of a highly committed staff team who are motivated every day by improving the life chances of our children and young people so that they can be the best that they can be.
