Job Description
Our School
Ancora House School is an outstanding alternative provision; we wish to recruit a dedicated team of specialist supply teachers of Mathematics Sciences and English.
The opening of a new Day Ward for Eating Disorder patients has created vacancies for additional teachers with the requirement of education to be offered up to 5 mornings per week during term time. Whilst these positions are primarily based at the hospital site we are looking for flexibility to work across the wider school.
Ancora House School has two sites:
- Ancora House Inpatient and Eating Disorder Day Patient units are on the Countess of Chester Health Park this site is for young people who have been admitted to the Adolescent Mental Health Unit or who may be a risk of admission.
- Castle Park Frodsham hosts the community setting for day attenders who may have physical or mental health problems that prevent them from accessing their home school.
