Inspiring Creativity, Confidence and Self-Expression

We are seeking a passionate and creative Art Teacher to join our school community, working with KS3 and KS4 students with Special Educational Needs.

Art plays a central role in our school. It is not just a subject, but a vital means of self-expression, confidence building and, at times, therapeutic support for our students. The successful candidate will understand the power of creativity to support emotional wellbeing, communication and personal growth.

The Role

• Deliver engaging, accessible art lessons for KS3 and KS4 students
• Inspire students through a practical, hands-on approach to art
• Use art as a tool to support self-esteem, emotional regulation and expression
• Play an active, visible role within the wider life of the school
• Contribute to a creative, nurturing and inclusive learning environment

Essential Experience & Skills

• Experience teaching a wide range of art techniques and methods, including digital, mixed media and sculpture
• A strong belief in art as a process, not just an outcome
• Ability to adapt teaching to meet a wide range of learning, sensory and emotional needs
• Experience of, or a strong interest in, working with SEN students
• Confidence teaching KS3 and KS4

We Are Looking For Someone Who Is

• Creative, patient and flexible in their approach
• Passionate about inclusive arts education
• Calm, empathetic and student-centred
• Willing to experiment, explore and work beyond traditional art outcomes
• An inspiring presence who values relationships as much as results

Why Join Us?

• Art is genuinely valued and prioritised within the school
• Small classes and a supportive team environment
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on students' confidence and wellbeing
• A school culture that celebrates creativity, individuality and growth

If you believe in the power of art to transform lives and want to be part of a school where creativity truly matters, we would love to hear from you.
