Do you have the highest expectations and aspirations for every child and young person to be “the best they can be”?
Are you looking for a lead role within an ambitious and innovative provision for children and young people with complex Special Educational Needs?
Are you excited by all of the opportunities, challenges and rewards of developing new and dynamic curriculum provision?

Then this role may be exactly what you are looking for…

Enterprise Works is a specialist 14-19 campus for students from across the Nexus family of schools and local partnerships. As an employee of Kenwood Academy, this role will involve teaching students from a range of special schools across South Yorkshire. You will be skilled in adapting curriculum provision to ensure equality, opportunity and successful outcomes for all students, with a clear focus on preparation for employment and adulthood.

Enterprise Works is at the heart of the construction curriculum and provision for Kenwood Academy. We are an 11-19 Special School and part of Nexus Multi-Academy Trust. Our shared vision for our Trust is that we are constantly "Learning together, to be the best we can be". This vision is what we aspire for and is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young people and their families. We are fully committed to partnerships and all the educational benefits of collaborative working. You can find out more at: www.nexusmat.org

Kenwood Academy is a new and growing school, opened on 1st January 2023, and expecting our first Ofsted inspection during the Summer Term 2025. Our provision is based at four campuses: West Riding (11-16) in Barnsley, Nether Edge (11-14) & Broadfield (14-19) in Sheffield, and Enterprise Works (14-19) in Sheffield (near Meadowhall). This role is based at our Enterprise Works campus.

We have a fantastic and dedicated team of staff, indicated by our historically low staff turnover. We are currently expanding our provision and working to further broaden and deepen our ambitious curriculum; therefore, this is a wonderful opportunity for passionate and inspirational specialist teachers to join our growing team.

You will be a Construction specialist who can design, implement and evaluate the curriculum, working closely with our experienced Senior Leaders. You will be ready for the next step in school leadership and you will have a proven ability to deliver exceptional learning experiences for all our students. You will be confident working independently and working collaboratively as part of our curriculum leadership team.

The students you will be teaching deserve the very best education and an ambitious, rich curriculum. They have a wide range of identified Special Educational needs, often including communication and interaction needs and social, emotional, and mental health needs. Some have cognition and learning needs and some have sensory and/or physical learning needs. The students are at the heart of everything we do, and we strongly believe it is our responsibility to nurture their sense of belonging. We are here to ensure that every single student has the best opportunities to flourish through personalised provision, in a learning community where everyone feels welcome, safe, secure, and highly valued.

We currently deliver a spiral curriculum (aligned with the national curriculum) that allows for multiple outcomes, including access to appropriate accreditation at Entry Level, Level 1 and Level 2. All schemes of learning and sequences of lessons are constructed in order to identify and address gaps in prior learning and to build towards mastering the recall and application of knowledge and skills in a variety of different contexts.

Applications are welcome from candidates in all educational settings who can demonstrate knowledge of special educational needs and disabilities.
