Art Teacher

The Governors of H3 Federation are looking to appoint a dynamic and highly skilled Art teacher to join the outstanding staff team at Heath School.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting students with SEND, demonstrating an ability to work with sensitivity and positivity to ensure every student can thrive.

You will be able to plan and deliver a high quality Art offer leading to excellent outcomes for all students. This work is underpinned by your ability to form positive relationships that can be drawn on to engage all.

This is an excellent career opportunity for someone looking to experience alternative provision, working alongside a highly experienced and skilled staff team in a truly inclusive education setting.

It may be very well suited to someone who is employed in a mainstream setting, and would like to have the opportunity - with agreement from their main school - to work in another setting for one day per week.

Heath School is a Pupil Referral Unit for children aged 11-16 in Camden who join us for a period of enhanced support and intervention in preparation for their return to mainstream school. In June 2024, Ofsted rated the school as ‘Good’ overall, with ‘Outstanding’ grades for behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management and personal development. Staff who work here receive “Excellent regular training” and join colleagues who “enjoy their development and training and report leaders are considerate of their well-being”. All staff at Heath enjoy the opportunity to work flexibly from home once every three weeks.

Students are taught in small classes by qualified teachers. HLTAs support in class, and may take responsibility for leading learning in a range of in class and extended curriculum settings.

Students at Heath are supported in their behaviour development by an excellent team of teachers, leaders and specialist support staff. We have high expectations. Our clear behaviour policy and strong, student-centred approach to individual needs means that children often make exceptional progress.

H3 Federation is a group of three Camden Schools which work together to ensure that ‘Every Student Can Learn and Grow’. The successful candidate will benefit from the opportunity to develop their careers within a Federation committed to professional development and progression opportunities.

If you share our passion for ensuring high standards for all, and have the ambition to help transform the lives of the young people in our school, we would very much like to hear from you.
