Do you have these core traits to be a successful Change Maker and Specialist Mathematics Teacher at Bader Academy?

Bader Academy is a special school which opened in September 2020, and provides 100 places for children and young people, aged 5-16, who have an Education, Health and Care Plan with a primary diagnosis of Communication and Interaction Difficulties.

You can help create a forward thinking, innovative culture where pupils and staff can truly flourish.

Our ambition and yours will be that Bader is a centre of excellence for both the specialist provision and for promoting the latest inclusive practices across education.

Our children and young people at Bader deserve an education that will change their lives and give them the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Staff employed in our Academy Trust enjoy a fulfilling career and we focus on releasing your potential and maximising your impact.

Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016 and has the highest ambitions possible for everyone we work with.

The vision for Nexus is that we are constantly “Learning together; to be the best we can be.” This vision is what we aspire to and is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.

We are looking to recruit a qualified teaching colleague to join our school, as specialist Secondary phase teacher in the area of Mathematics. This subject has one of the the highest profiles in our school and will support both our subject specific approach and thematic curriculum. We are looking for a practitioner who has an innovative approach to their work and isn’t afraid to think of new and interesting approaches to the support they offer. We regret that this role will not be appropriate for Early Careers Teachers.

Empathetic and passionate, you’ll understand that our pupils’ journeys aren’t necessarily linear. If you haven’t worked in SEN before, but are enthusiastic and motivated to make the move, we’ll give you all the additional training and support you require.

You will be supporting learners within their classroom environment as well as their personal and social development during socialising periods through break and lunch times. The role may also involve supporting pupils who are accessing an alternate provision away from the school environment.

We actively welcome applications from existing SEND practitioners looking for a new whole school role, as well as colleagues who are looking to move in to SEND sector. It goes without saying that we will nurture, support and provide you with the professional development needed for you to succeed.

Through our Trust we can also provide the training and development for you to develop skills and qualifications to support you in working with our children and young people.

We strongly recommend that you visit us so that we can talk with you about this unique and career defining opportunity and you will have a chance to see what we have to offer.
