Maple Hayes is a special school for up to 120 boys and girls with specific learning difficulties (dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia) from KS2 to KS4, following an appropriately modified national curriculum.
Due to retirement, we are seeking a passionate and dynamic Design Technology Teacher. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Design Technology, with the ability to inspire students and promote excellence in their learning. The post would suit an enthusiastic and motivated classroom practitioner who can enthuse the learning of children with Specific Learning Difficulties. The role demands the flexibility to incorporate the school’s literacy programme into their subject’s work for which the school will provide appropriate training. It is not a requirement for the candidate to have any prior training in teaching dyslexics. Class sizes in school generally range from 10 to 12 pupils.
Key Responsibilities:
The rates of pay are above Main Scale with a significant discretionary pay award which, in part, reflects involvement in extra-curriculum activities and attendance.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and requires all staff and volunteers to share this same commitment.
The position, which is subject to a Disclosure (DBS), is available from September 2024 and would suit an energetic and enthusiastic teacher.
Visits are essential given the unique nature of our setting. Please contact the school office on 01543 264387.
