Adventure and Trailblazing Lead

As Adventure & Trailblazing Lead, you'll be an experienced teacher with a passion for supporting pupils with special educational needs. Working closely with the headteacher and other senior colleagues, you'll use your knowledge of the outdoor and physical education curriculum to develop and lead a bespoke Adventure Curriculum for The Lion Works School.

Your responsibilities will include designing and delivering the new curriculum and implementing it as a whole school strategy. You will also have 0.6 teaching duties which will be PE, Games and outdoor learning.

The successful candidate should have effective knowledge and experience of classroom teaching and outdoor learning.

The Lion Works School is a specialist setting that meets the needs of secondary age students who are all individuals, have a range of interests, have talents, and also happen to have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition or a need which presents similarly.

We are looking to appoint an Adventure & Trailblazing Lead. This is a new post that has been created as The Lion Works School recognizes that outdoor education offers unique opportunities and experiences that cannot be taught in the classroom.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing and developing school and to become an integral part of the Senior Leadership Team supporting the work of the dedicated, motivated, and inspiring teachers and support staff, whilst striving for success for all.

The school will seek to ensure that no applicant for employment or education is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be justified. The school aims to provide an open welcoming and safe environment for all its students, employees, and visitors.

Safeguarding
