Job description

Instructor / Unqualified Teacher

Lancaster

Flexible opportunities for full or part‑time.

Term time only Monday to Friday 8:30 am – 3:30 pm.

Do you possess outstanding life experience/degree and the resilience to teach and mentor young people? We are seeking an exceptional, unqualified teacher/instructor to deliver a bespoke curriculum and transform outcomes for students in our school settings across Lancaster, Morecambe, Carnforth.

The Role: Teaching with Impact, Not QTS

This pivotal role focuses on relationship‑based teaching for students who have faced significant educational and social barriers. While Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is NOT required, you must have substantial experience, expertise and passion in a field relevant to working with disengaged or vulnerable young people.

What You Will Do

• Deliver Bespoke Learning: Plan and teach engaging, highly differentiated lessons to small groups or 1:1, focusing on core subjects (e.g., Functional Skills Maths/English) or a vocational/specialist area (e.g., Outdoor Education, Construction, Creative Arts).
• Implement Therapeutic Strategies: Use a trauma‑informed and restorative approach to manage complex and challenging behaviour, creating a safe, consistent, and nurturing learning environment.
• Focus on SEMH/SEND: Work closely with the SENCO and support staff to ensure all teaching aligns with students’ Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs.
• Be a Mentor: Act as a key adult and positive role model, building professional, trusting relationships that enable students to regulate their emotions and re‑engage with education.
• Team Leadership: Direct and guide support staff (Teaching Assistants/TA’s) within your classroom or intervention setting to maximise student outcomes.
