This is a great opportunity to join Acorn Education and Care as a Primary Teacher at Dibden Park School in Southampton. Dibden Park School is a brand-new specialist school which will place 60 students ages 8-16 years. Our school is due to open in September 2023.
We are looking for Primary Teachers who have a therapeutic approach to their teaching and learning. Teachers with a background in Early Years and Primary Teaching would be suitable for this position but must be prepared to teach students of all ages.
Through your knowledge and passion, you will have a real impact on the lives of pupils and young people. Taking responsibility for their learning, you will motivate them, inspire them and help them develop the skills they need for an incredible future.
The role
As a dynamic and motivated qualified teacher, you already have a passion for making a difference in the lives of pupils and young people. In this role, you will have every opportunity to live up to this ambition, responding to the needs of each individual as you help them flourish and thrive.
You will plan and deliver engaging learning on a daily basis, developing exciting and innovative methods that stimulate interest and excitement in the classroom. Working as a Teacher with us is not your average teaching role. At Acorn Education and Care, you are able to work creatively, making the most of all the extensive resources and expert support we have available.
Our class sizes are small, so you are able to create a nurturing learning environment designed around each individual’s needs, spending quality time with each pupil. You will observe, monitor and assess them, making sure their personal development and wellbeing are as important as the academic curriculum.
Who we are looking for
You will be a passionate teacher and a great communicator, as comfortable talking to pupils and young people as you are with contributing to the school’s vision and direction.
Our schools are unique environments, each one having its own special atmosphere and range of opportunities and resources. Our Teachers enjoy becoming part of their school’s ‘family’, exploring the potential of the building and environment and getting to know the brilliant pupils and young people in our care.
You will enjoy building these caring relationships as well as liaising with fellow professionals, whether they are colleagues in the same school or they work in the pupil’s previous educational establishments.
You will have excellent written English skills too, along with a passion for working in collaboration with other members of our multidisciplinary team, sharing information in both formal and informal situations.

And that’s not all, we place the outcomes of the pupils and vulnerable young adults in our services at the heart of everything we do, so you’ll wake every day in the knowledge that your role will have a significant positive impact on the lives of others.
