About The Role

About The Role

Are you an outstanding teacher looking for your next challenge?

Do you have a passion for working with vulnerable children and want to make a real difference to young people's lives? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

Compass Community School is a small specialist independent school for young people aged 11 to 16 who have faced significant challenges in their lives. Our pupils require dedicated teachers who can successfully support complex social, emotional and behavioural needs while maintaining high aspirations for learning and achievement.

At Compass Community Schools, we believe all teachers are teachers of children before teachers of subjects. Central to this role is understanding each child, building positive relationships and creating learning opportunities that inspire confidence, engagement and success.

We are looking for a versatile teacher who can teach across a range of curriculum subjects from Key Stage 2 through to Key Stage 4. As a result, this opportunity would suit both primary and secondary qualified teachers who are passionate about supporting young people with additional needs.

Our students benefit from teachers who are patient, resilient and adaptable. They understand the importance of consistency, communication, flexibility and a non-judgemental approach when supporting children who may have experienced adversity and trauma.

As part of a growing national organisation, there are excellent opportunities for career development and progression.

Safeguarding

Compass Community Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All staff and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.

Successful applicants will be required to obtain an Enhanced DBS check, or Enhanced DBS with Barred List check where appropriate, and complete all relevant safer recruitment and due diligence procedures, including social media screening.

All school-based staff are responsible for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and must work in accordance with the school's Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy at all times.

Compass is an equal opportunities employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences and recognise that diversity strengthens our ability to support children and young people.
