At Chosen Hill School, we are proud of our inclusive ethos and our commitment to ensuring that all students receive the support they need to flourish academically, socially and emotionally. As the number of students with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) continues to grow, we are creating an exciting new role within our highly regarded Inclusion Team.

• A school that genuinely values SEND and pastoral support.
• A culture of professional trust, collaboration and development.

If you are passionate about inclusion, enjoy bringing people together and want to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people and their families, we would love to hear from you.

Every child deserves an advocate. Could that be you?

Recruitment Checks

The Headteacher and The Governing Body of Chosen Hill School are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We require all new employees to complete an enhanced level criminal background check through the Disclosure and Barring Service. It is a condition of employment that the employee should not have been convicted of a criminal offence against children, nor have been dismissed, or resigned from, a previous employer for misconduct of a similar nature. Having a criminal record is not necessarily a bar to employment; it will depend on the nature, circumstances and background to the offence.

As part of our due diligence within safer recruitment, school will be carrying out online searches to help identify any incidents or issues which may need to be explored at interview. These searches will include, but will not be limited to, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google.
