We would like to appoint a dedicated, enthusiastic and committed individual to the temporary post of SEND teacher to cover maternity leave. The ability to teach science is desirable, but above all we are looking for a talented educator with a big heart who shares our commitment to excellence and achieving the very best for all our pupils. This Fixed Term Contract is to start in November for one year or until the substantive post holder returns.

Rise@GHC is a specialist resource provision for learners with Autistic Spectrum Conditions and other related special educational needs. The centre is part of Garth Hill College but operates in dedicated buildings within a short walk/drive from our main site. NAS autism accreditation was awarded in 2024.

• Teach Science ideally.

• Work in partnership with others including parents/carers and multi-agency teams.

The College is a happy and vibrant place of learning. We are proud to be a genuinely comprehensive school and offer a wide and diverse range of excellent opportunities, inside and outside the classroom, that we believe enable our young people to develop exceptionally well academically and personally.
