Our Governors are looking to appoint a talented, creative Sports Leader who has a natural flair in engaging and motivating children with autism coupled with a passion for improving sports provision for every learner.
Rosehill School is a maintained special school for 120 pupils aged 4-19, on the autism spectrum, which is set in a residential area on the outskirts of Nottingham City Centre. The very large majority of pupils attending the school have a diverse range of associated communication, interaction, social, imagination, sensory and learning differences. Many of our pupils have spent time in mainstream settings but move to Rosehill for a more specialised environment and curriculum.
The school serves a diverse community, drawing children and young people from a wide range of socio-economic and multicultural backgrounds. The school has an Early Year’s provision and a Sixth Form. Rosehill School is part of the Nottingham Schools Trust.
We are committed to and passionate about the learning and progress for our pupils. Staff and governors have high aspirations for our learners and we aim to provide a relevant, broad and balanced education that focuses on individual, personal and academic achievement.
This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of an outstanding school. We aim to deliver the highest level of education to ensure the best life chances become a sustainable reality for every young person (on an individual needs led basis). Together, we will create a safe, positive and structured environment in which every young person is respected and encouraged to achieve independence (through academic and personal skills development).
We are looking for a Sports Leader who can demonstrate;
• Level 2 Coaching Qualification
• A commitment to making a difference to children’s lives
• Enthusiasm and passion for sport
• Drive, energy and enthusiasm to welcome new challenges and training
• High expectations of pupil achievement and behaviour
In return, Rosehill is able to offer you;
• Outstanding children who want to learn
• A diverse, multi-cultural community
• An excellent staff team, parents, carers and community
• Commitment to staff CPD
We are an equal opportunities employer welcoming application, from all sections of the community.
