Becton School

We are excited to be recruiting for the role of Post 16 Teacher at Becton School. Becton is as unique as it is wonderful and as complex as it is caring. Over the past 4 years, it has grown considerably and the number of pupils we support has almost quadrupled. Initially, Becton School worked solely with patients at the Becton Centre for Children and Young People. However, we now encompass 3 other additional (and also complex) sites, each working with a different cohort of pupils. Becton school supports children who are medically too unwell to attend school and is part of Nexus Multi-Academy Trust.

The role

This role is perfect for an experienced Post 16 Teacher with a passion for both pastoral care and pupil success. The Post 16 pupils at our Becton Site have complex and chronic mental health difficulties and have often missed a large part of their education.

At Becton, the children are at the heart of all we do and we strongly believe it is our responsibility to provide a place where everyone feels welcome, secure and highly valued. An important part of this is for them to be able to continue with their education while they are in hospital.

To work with the rest of Becton Staff team to support enrichment
To support non subject specialists where appropriate
To undergo subject specific training if required
To organise and plan for additional support if required

The successful person will have:

Highly effective leadership skills and the ability to inspire and motivate other people;
Experience of effectively supporting post 16 pupils.
A strong commitment to collaboration and partnership working;
A deep understanding of how children and young people with additional needs learn and make good progress;
