About Our School

Easthorpe School is a vibrant independent specialist provision located in the East Midlands, dedicated to supporting children and young people living with families, foster carers, or in residential homes.

Since our opening in November 2022, we have been expanding to accommodate a growing number of pupils in the Lower School (ages 7-13). With class sizes capped at 6 pupils, each class is supported by a qualified teacher and up to 2 teaching assistants.

We cater to pupils with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, as well as a variety of diagnoses including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, attachment needs, and mild to moderate learning needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced teacher to help shape our provision, enrich the lives of our pupils, and develop your own teaching skills in a rewarding environment.

  • Plan and deliver engaging, high-quality lessons aligned with the national curriculum.
  • Support the class team in facilitating learning and promoting positive behaviours.
  • Monitor pupil progress and collaborate with staff to meet individual needs.
  • Supervise pupils during non-classroom activities and trips.
  • Build positive relationships to enhance learning outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
  • Degree-level education
  • Experience teaching GCSE Science at the secondary level
  • Experience supporting pupils with SEMH needs
  • Strong behaviour management skills
  • Commitment to ongoing professional development
  • Willingness to undergo an enhanced DBS check

What We Offer You

  • A workplace that prioritizes wellbeing
  • Ongoing training and development opportunities
  • The chance to make a meaningful difference in students' lives
  • A supportive and inclusive team environment

The successful candidate will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check, with the cost covered by Easthorpe School. We are an equal opportunities employer committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. All staff are expected to share this commitment.
