Elmtree Grove School - recruitment days
Location: Fishponds, Bristol
Start date: September 2024
Type: Full-time, TTO, Permanent (8:30am - 4:00pm, Monday to Friday, term-time only + 10 days)
Salary: role dependent
Our brand new special school for primary-aged learners (KS1, KS2 + Yr7) opens in September 2024 in the Fishponds area of Bristol and we're recruiting for our new staff team.
Elmtree Grove School will open based on the successes of learner outcomes at our 6 Elmtree Learning Partnership sites since 2022 www.elmtree-learning.org.uk . Initially, we will be supporting up to 28 learners with a view to gradually increasing learner capacity in the future.
All of the learners we support are vulnerable and have an EHCP to define their additional needs or an EHCP in progress. Creativity, perseverance and an empathetic approach when working with them is key to engaging them in education and ensuring their progression.
We are inviting applications to a number of roles that we're recruiting for which is a great opportunity to join our new team and inspire our learners. Applicants with experience of having worked with learners that have SEND (mainly SEMH & trauma) who have experienced other barriers or challenges to their education would be highly advantageous. We're building our next great team so if you love working with people who are dedicated to supporting young learners that strive to support their development in a positive setting, this is the role for you.

Every Child, Every Opportunity, The Right Opportunity
Our approach is to offer a bespoke and relevant learning program for each learner. Integration into standardised education opportunities and social integration is everything we do. No child should have their future negatively affected or be excluded in their later life due to the lack of access or support for education opportunities that are appropriate to their abilities & strengths.
We believe strongly in people and look for people that have:
- Education-relevant qualifications in supporting teaching & learning
- good experience in supporting young people in an education setting
- understanding and expertise in supporting learners with SEND
- skills & strategies in supporting emotional wellbeing
- tenacity & resilience to manage, influence & effect positive behaviours & decisions in learners
- the ability to present a strong role model for young people, including having fun!
- collaborative and pro-active working practices
- a strong sense of responsibility & work ethic
Working with our organisation is a rewarding experience. We offer an enjoyable workplace with additional employment benefits:
- Bright HR - online HR management portal also offering partner discounts
- Employee Assist - independent healthcare perks
- Free training - role specific & relevant, accredited training
- Employee Support Assistant - dedicated colleagues to support our employees
- Pension scheme
Applications are welcomed from candidates that meet the vast majority of the above job & person criteria. We also recognise that many people who are interested in such a role may not have specific experience as detailed so we would still welcome an application from those that have substantial experience of supporting young people with SEND or other challenges in education.
All applications will be managed by Elementa. Successful applications will have a full-prescreen, interview, ‘insight session’ and visit to one of our Alternative Provision sites. Any appointment will be subject to a successful interview process, satisfactory references, DBS Enhanced Disclosure and successful completion of employment trial period.
Please apply with your full up to date CV. All applicants will be promptly responded to.
