Job Description

About us

Belong School Gloucestershire is a small independent school for students aged 11-16 with social, emotional, and mental health issues.

Using small groups and one-to-one teaching to encourage academic, social and emotional learning, we provide education for students in years 7-11 who have an Education Health and Care Plan for Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. We specialise in working with parents, carers and other professionals to enable our students to strengthen their social, emotional and mental health whilst achieving academic outcomes to enable them to access post 16 further education and employment.

We provide a specialist learning environment that to the child feels and looks informal, but which is carefully and precisely crafted. Our classrooms are diverse -from our onsite provision to offsite facilities, to the child's home environment. Each child has a bespoke curriculum consisting of our core offer (Maths, English and Science) and a selection of foundation subjects alongside a wide range of activities and experiences both on and off site.

About you

You will plan, deliver and monitor a range of activities in a range of settings, supporting them to return to school-based education and gain skills and independence.
