Part-time Life skills/Careers/PHSE Teacher & Part-time Food Technology Teacher

Hill Park School is a three site (Primary/ Secondary) special school for pupils aged 4 - 16 years for pupils with needs ranging from moderate (MLD), severe (SLD), profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD). Some pupils also have a diagnosis of autistic spectrum condition (ASC), complex medical needs or physical disabilities. We have students from Reception through to KS4.

The Hive is Hill Park’s third site based in Hollingdean, Brighton. It is a secondary school provision for mainstream ability autistic young people, who are on a pathway to GCSE’s and other accredited courses. We offer small class sizes with a focus on sensory regulation and emotional wellbeing.

Due to the continued expansion of the school, we are seeking to recruit a Life Skills, Careers and PSHE Teacher for three days per week, and a Food Technology Teacher for two days per week.

These positions may be appointed as two separate part-time roles, or we would welcome applications from candidates who have the skills and experience to undertake both roles as a single five-day post.

We are looking for enthusiastic and committed teachers who are passionate about supporting young people with Special Educational Needs. Experience of working within an SEN setting is desirable, although not essential. We would particularly welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate flexibility and a creative approach to delivering an engaging and inclusive curriculum.

To discuss the role further and to arrange a visit to the school, we encourage prospective applicants to contact our Head of The Hive, Linda Williams.

We are a warm, friendly and welcoming school with a supportive and caring staff, who work closely as a team. Our school would be a great place for you to work if you:

• have Maths and English Qualifications at GCSE or equivalent
• have patience and a calm manner
• have resilience and a commitment to meeting the needs of children with additional needs
• are an excellent team player who is flexible and shows an ability to recognise and respond to pupils’ needs
• can provide support to individuals and small groups
• are able to manage a challenging environment, both physically and mentally

We take safeguarding and child protection seriously and all posts at Hill Park are subject to a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Certificate.
