Job description

Virtual Teacher, Accrington

Tradewind are recruiting for a Virtual Teacher to join our nurturing team at our Ofsted-rated 'Good' school in Accrington. This is a school-based role, working from our dedicated virtual learning classroom on-site - delivering online education to a small number of pupils who are learning from home or from other off-site provisions.

This role is part of our Alternative Provision offer, supporting KS3 and KS4 who are often transitioning from Elective Home Education (EHE), or who need support before re-integrating into classroom-based learning.

You'll be joining a school that takes a trauma-informed, nurture-first approach to education.

Our Provision:

• Pupils are taught in small nurture groups of 2-4 or via 1:1 online delivery.

• One dedicated Virtual Teaching Room with appropriate tech and support on-site.

• Calm, quiet campus, ideal for pupils with ASC, SEMH, anxiety, or those returning from Home Education.

• A creative, therapeutic curriculum including:

  • Equine Therapy

  • Feelings & Emotions-Based Therapy (KS3 & KS4)

• Individualised learning plans that meet both EHCP and emotional development targets.

About the Role:

• Deliver live virtual lessons to pupils learning from home or medical/respite provision.

• Teach a broad curriculum with a creative, flexible approach.

• Develop trusting relationships with pupils and families, providing a safe and predictable virtual learning space.

• Track engagement and progress, liaising closely with onsite staff and external agencies where required.

We're Looking For:

• A qualified teacher (QTS or QTLS) - ECTs welcome, full support provided.

• A confident and compassionate educator with experience or strong interest in:

  • SEND

  • SEMH

  • Alternative Provision

  • Home Education transitions

• Someone who can build rapport and deliver structure remotely, using platforms like Microsoft Teams or Google Meet.

What We Offer:

• A nurturing, close-knit team all working under one school across multiple provisions.

• Excellent ongoing CPD including trauma-informed practice, therapeutic approaches, and digital pedagogy.
