As a Secondary Teacher with SSEN:MMH you will be a highly valued member of a team providing quality education to students whose physical or mental health presents difficulties in accessing their usual educational program. The co-teaching environment in our programs is diverse and dynamic on any given day, as you support individualised student needs within multi-age classrooms. Suitable applicants are adaptable and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as you work with various other staff within and beyond education. Meeting the needs of all students requires you to work collectively with others and to be open to their opinions and perspectives in order to achieve positive student outcomes. These positions will appeal to teachers with a breadth and depth of secondary curriculum knowledge and adaptive pedagogical skills. The role will suit self-reflective, motivated teachers with outstanding classroom teaching practice and a range of experience teaching across subject areas. In addition, the diverse nature of our student population requires excellence in differentiated teaching and planning. Our staff make use of a multi modal learning approach to achieve student outcomes and to engage students in active student learning. As a culturally responsive and inclusive school one of your key priorities will include providing all students with opportunities to achieve success through education. Permanent teachers in other locations within the Department of Education, who would like to work at our school and retain their substantive position, can apply. If this interests you, please discuss with your principal or line manager before applying.
