This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced qualified English teacher to join our dynamic and committed team. The successful candidate will work within this supportive environment to contribute to the success of our pupils and the development of the curriculum area. This post offers an opportunity to work with a range of young people who have barriers to learning and require higher levels of differentiation in a small class (maximum 10 pupils) setting.

Own transport is required as there is no public transport available.

Slindon College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. In addition to normal pre-employment checks, all appointments are subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and safeguarding interview. In addition, a Prohibition Order check, a Prohibition from Management check and overseas checks will be carried out for relevant positions.

All posts are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the College is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are ‘spent‘ unless they are ‘protected’ under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
