Elmwood School is an expanding Local Authority SEMH school in the leafy suburb of Rushall in Walsall. The school has 72 mixed 11-16 year olds on roll split into three discreet areas. We offer a wide and personalised curriculum catering for a range of abilities up to and including GCSEs / BTEC’s. We are looking for innovative people who are capable of establishing positive relationships working with young people with complex needs. You must have high expectations, flexibility and resilience. If you are passionate about making a difference and genuinely care for pupils who are on the brink of social exclusion, then we would love to meet you.

 

You will be required to work in a classroom setting and/or on a 1:1 basis, to support some of our disadvantaged young people, with the aim of raising achievement. A specific strength in delivering interventions to reluctant learners would be beneficial.

•       Willingness to work with challenging pupils

•       Be physically fit and capable of implementing the principles of Team Teach (Physical Interventions) – once suitably trained

•       Very good numeracy/literacy skills

•       Willingness to drive school transport (if applicable)
