About our School

ISP School is an independent specialist provision serving children and young people (CYP) in Kent and Medway who live with their families, foster carers, or in residential children's homes.

Our school supports CYP with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs (SEMH) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

We provide high-quality education, adopting a holistic and tailored approach, complemented by a full range of support services, for each and every one of our pupils.

We are looking for an inspirational qualified teacher who has experience working with vulnerable children in school and preferably with some leadership experience to teach a range of subjects, to our small group of pupils ranging from KS2 to KS4 and assist with middle-level management with 50% teaching responsibilities.

We have high expectations of our pupils and adapt and build the curriculum around them. The school follows a primary approach so teachers should be prepared across the curriculum and key stages.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established company working with vulnerable children with a wide range of behavioural and emotional needs. Our team are welcoming, supportive and collaborative.
