Job Description

Grove House School is seeking to appoint a talented ICT Teacher to join the new staff team (QTS essential).

Grove House School, opening in September 2015, will be a specialist school for pupils aged 8-19 with Speech, Language and Communication Needs. Based in Brentwood, Essex, the school will be distinctive in its offer of a collaborative, classroom-based approach to the delivery of therapy. It will offer an innovative, mainstream curriculum based on research and best practice. Pupils will follow the National Curriculum and be prepared for nationally-recognised qualifications in key stages 4 and 5.

Teaching staff will become specialist practitioners, working collaboratively with the Therapeutic team to facilitate excellent pupil progress and prepare pupils for full, independent lives. The school is building a highly capable, dynamic staff team that it will continue to develop through its commitment to CPD and opportunities for progression. A second subject specialism would be valued, but is not essential.

This is a unique opportunity for the right candidate to help develop and shape this aspirational new school and in turn transform the life chances of young people with SLCN in Essex.

The trustees would welcome the opportunity to discuss the plans for the school with any prospective candidates. Please contact the Chair of Governors, Dr Sally Lockyer on 07754 782206.

Grove House School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an Enhanced DBS and other pre-employment checks.
