Further details about the role
As part of Delta, Education Trust, The Harbour School’s vision is “Learning together in pursuit of happiness”. This means we really care whether pupils love or hate their learning, so we work hard to create a space where they learn together to become knowledgeable, self-aware, independent and happy people who make a positive difference, wherever life takes them.
Following the most recent Ofsted inspection, each and every member of the team are working together to make the changes we need.
The Harbour School is looking for an enthusiastic individual to work as a teacher within the Horizon Service. This may involve teaching students at a variety of locations including their homes, community centres, centres and Schools. You will be asked to teach students in small groups online, particularly KS2 (Primary maths and English) and KS4 (Entry Level English and maths) only.
You will be part of an inclusive and collaborative team that, no matter what the challenge may be, are ready to face it head on and are committed to seeing it through.
Learning can look different for everyone; learning is continuous and enabled by the broad curriculum, therapeutic interventions, and the environment the school and staffing team create. It’s only through your leadership and partnership working that we will create that environment together to ensure the pupils progress towards a happy life that they can enjoy.
