Whitworth Park was opened in September 2012 following the amalgamation of Spennymoor School and Sixth Form Centre and Tudhoe Grange School. Both schools were highly successful serving the community of Spennymoor and the surrounding villages. Whitworth Park offers a broad and balanced curriculum and is committed to offering the highest quality learning experience to all of its students.
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the school for a teacher with a passion for teaching children with speech, language and communication needs. You will lead your own small team in support of up to 10 students with specific speech and language needs and report directly to the SENCO. We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated and dedicated teacher. You will be driven in making a difference to the education and lives of children and young people and alongside the school SENCO assist in providing an aspirational and inspiration environment for our students.
Presently, the department consists of a full-time teacher who runs the Student Support Base, two Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA), for numeracy and literacy, three SEN Learning Support Assistants (LSA), two Learning Mentor LSAs, one Inclusion LSA, one full time Counsellor LSA and a Learning Resource LSA. As part of the enhanced mainstream provision we have recruited a Learning Support Assistant with speech and language as a specialism and it is our intention to further enhance the staffing profile as the provision grows.
Further details about this position and an application pack are available from the vacancies section of our website, www.whitworthpark.org.uk

Interviews will be held week commencing 16th March 2015.
