Job description

Reignite Curiosity. Rebuild Confidence. Rewrite Futures.

At Wilderness Way, we're not your average education provider and this is not your average teaching role.

We're on the lookout for a bold, creative and compassionate Education Assessment Lead to work 1:1 with up to 8 children across our unique homes. You won't just be delivering lessons - you'll be crafting personalised education journeys that meet every child where they are and help them discover just how far they can go.

Your mission:

• Create individualised learning plans based on real assessment
• Deliver 1:1 sessions that build confidence, curiosity and capability
• Plan exciting activities and visits that make learning stick
• Collaborate with our care and outdoor teams to bring lessons to life
• Track progress, set aspirations, and celebrate every win
• Travel across up to 6 beautiful service locations (vehicle required)

This role is ideal if you're a Qualified Teacher who:

• Believes that education is about more than exams
• Can connect with young people who've faced challenges
• Loves to think outside the box (and outside the classroom!)
• Has a calm, positive, and professional vibe - even when the day gets wild

You’ll work closely with our Education Manager and the wider team around each child to design and deliver a meaningful education offer, whether that’s for a 17‑week placement or something longer‑term.

What’s in it for you?

• 24/7 employee assistance and counselling programme
• Fully funded CPD recognised qualifications
• "Above and Beyond" recognition scheme
• Medical benefit scheme staff discounts
• Amazing peer and team support
• A chance to change lives, every single day

Must have a full UK manual driving licence and your own car - Travel between services is a key part of this role.

We are an equal opportunities employer and have a commitment to safeguarding children. We follow Safer Recruitment practices. The successful candidate will be subject to necessary background checks, governed by regulation, including obtaining an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), Access NI, or Disclosure Scotland.
