You’ll deliver high‑quality teaching across a broad curriculum, with knowledge of Maths at KS3/KS4 along with Functional Skills being particularly advantageous. Additional subject strengths or personal interests are welcomed; they help us offer a rich, engaging and flexible learning experience.
What Teaching Looks Like Here
- Small groups of 3-6 learners, allowing you to build meaningful relationships and tailor learning effectively.
- Some 1:1 teaching, especially to support transition into group learning.
- TA support available, including 1:1 targeted work under your direction and TA allocation for groups of 4-6 where needed.
- Adaptive, relational teaching that prioritises engagement, wellbeing and progress.
- Holistic curriculum delivery, blending academic, personal and life‑skills learning.
- Manageable planning and marking, with a strong emphasis on creativity, innovation and pupil voice.

- Create safe, inclusive and purposeful learning environments.
- Work closely with specialist staff, families and external agencies to support reintegration or next‑step pathways.

- Model high‑level safeguarding practice at all times.
The successful candidate will have:
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), PGCE or equivalent.
- Ability to teach a specialist subject and contribute to wider curriculum areas.
- A reflective practitioner committed to professional development.
- A driver (due to the nature of the role).
- Experience in special or alternative provision is desirable but not essential – the right mindset matters most.
- Confidence using relational and restorative behaviour strategies.
