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. Due to the nature of Hospital Education the pupils are often dual rolled and will be with us for a limited period of time.

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.

The successful candidate will help shape an individualised curriculum for all our post 16 pupils that provides them with the very best opportunities of moving on to a destination that allows them to thrive.

The main purpose of this role will be:

To have holistic of each Post 16 pupils educational timetable.
To work with home schools/colleges to enable pupils to continue with academic courses they are enrolled on
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

We are seeking an individual with strong child-centred values, resilience and a proven ability to lead the next exciting phase of Becton School’s journey.

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;
High expectations and the ambition, drive and determination for every child and young person to be 'the best they can be';
A strong commitment to working positively and pro-actively with parents, carers and a wide range of professionals and services;
Excellent management and organisational skills.
