About the Role

Premier Education is seeking a committed and creative Food and Art Teacher to work full-time from January until February half term within a Pupil Referral Service in the Tameside area.

The provision supports pupils who are currently unable to access mainstream education due to a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

This role would suit a teacher who is calm, resilient, and passionate about building positive relationships, using creative and practical subjects to engage and motivate learners.

• Plan and deliver engaging Food and Art lessons tailored to pupils with SEMH needs
• Create a safe, structured, and supportive learning environment
• Adapt teaching approaches to meet individual needs and abilities
• Promote positive behaviour and emotional regulation in line with setting policies
• Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils and staff
• Support pupils' academic progress and personal development

Requirements

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a relevant teaching qualification
• Experience teaching Food and/or Art
• Experience working with SEMH pupils or within alternative provision is highly desirable
• Strong behaviour management skills with a calm, consistent approach
• A patient, empathetic, and flexible teaching style
