Science Teacher

Salary: £32,916 – £51,048

Location: Ferryhill, Durham

The Woodlands EHN Team is seeking to appoint a qualified Science Teacher (QTS) to deliver high quality Science teaching to Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 pupils who are medically too unwell to attend their mainstream school, as well as those receiving education other than in school (EOTIS).

Role Overview

The successful candidate will be based at one of the EHN sites, The Pines in Sacriston or The Orchard in Leadgate, but will also be required to work across all Woodlands sites, as well as in pupils’ homes and Durham County Council buildings across County Durham. The Pines provides short term education for pupils who are receiving treatment or recovering from medical needs, including both mental health and physical health conditions. The cohort is fluid, with many pupils reintegrating back into their mainstream setting. The Orchard is the long term provision for pupils with anxiety and mental health needs. The Woodlands has also been commissioned to provide education for EOTIS pupils. The role therefore requires a nurturing approach, with a strong focus on supporting pupils’ mental health, wellbeing, confidence and readiness to learn.

Responsibilities

  • Deliver high quality Science teaching to pupils across Key Stage 2, 3 and 4.
  • Teach to pupils who are medically unwell or receiving education other than in school.
  • Work across multiple sites including The Pines, The Orchard, pupils’ homes and Durham County Council buildings.
  • Provide a nurturing approach, supporting pupils’ mental health, wellbeing, confidence and readiness to learn.

Qualifications and Skills

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
  • Ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English.
  • Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
  • Enhanced DBS disclosure.

EEO Statement

We are a disability confident employer, committed to employing disabled people and people with health conditions, making reasonable adjustments to support disabled applicants when required.

If successful you will need to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.
