About this Role

We are seeking an experienced SEN Teacher to join our established team as a specialist teacher. We will consider applications from teachers with experience in Secondary and Primary settings for this position.

The successful candidate will work with our dynamic and experienced SEN team to ensure that every student within our classes receives a world class education. The role will be predominantly teaching a small group of learners with SEMH and C&L needs across the curriculum to ensure that they are able to access and keep up with the curriculum within the wider school.

This role is based within our Academic Support (AS) Department which enables quality teaching, excellent learning outcomes and success for all pupils.

We are a highly sought after and well-established comprehensive in East Oxford with over 1300 students including 6th Form. A strength of Oxford Spires is the warm, welcoming culture for students and staff alike and a huge sense of community as 'our children are happy and there is a strong culture of respect across the school' (Ofsted 2017).

We appoint on potential as well as experience, and we are committed to nurturing staff development. In return, we offer you a friendly and supportive environment and the chance to make a genuine difference to the amazing young people that make up our academy.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and require all staff and volunteers to share and demonstrate this commitment. The successful candidate will have to meet the requirements of the person specification and will be subject to the relevant pre-employment checks which will, where applicable, include a health check, an enhanced DBS check, the Children's Barred List check and satisfactory references.

It is an offence for an individual who has been disqualified from working with children to knowingly apply for, offer to do, accept, or do any work in a 'regulated activity'. The position advertised is a 'regulated activity'. Anthem will undertake a basic online check for all shortlisted candidates.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.
