Information:
The Education Unit is looking to appoint a flexible, dedicated and caring Maths and Science teacher to join its hard working team on a part time 0.8 contract.

The NHS Cove team provides assessment and diagnosis of the mental health needs of children and young people. Education staff, as part of the multi-disciplinary team, work closely with clinical colleagues and professionals for other agencies and schools, therefore the ability to work collaboratively and have good communication skills is essential. The team delivers an in-centre timetable and reintegration support to pupils in Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

Education provision at The Cove is part of LHES (Lancashire Hospital Education Service). We provide education for young people unable to access mainstream school while they are inpatients within the NHS unit due Tier 4 mental health needs. Pupils can be Lancashire residents or residents of other local authorities. Pupils remain on their school or college roll and our team liaise with school and college staff to provide continuity in education and to support reintegration. Pupils have a wide range of abilities. Some may present with special educational needs and some are recognised as high achievers by their schools and families. The priority is to support each child and young person to access education and make progress.
