If you're a dedicated and adaptable teacher with a passion for supporting young people outside of mainstream education, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

About the Provision

This multi-site Alternative Provision supports learners across KS2–KS4, offering tailored education to students with a range of additional needs, including SEMH, ASD, and behavioural challenges. Each site has its own unique setting, but all share a commitment to nurturing, inclusive education that prioritises student wellbeing and re-engagement with learning.

• Full-time positions available

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons tailored to individual needs.
• Support students with behavioural and emotional challenges, using a calm and restorative approach.
• Work closely with a dedicated team of support staff, SENCOs and pastoral leads.
• Foster a safe, inclusive and structured learning environment.
• Track and report on student progress in line with individual learning plans or EHCPs.

Requirements

• QTS or QTLS (applications from ECTs are welcome).
• Experience working in AP, PRU, SEND, or with students displaying challenging behaviour.
• Strong behaviour management and the ability to build positive, consistent relationships.
• A patient, adaptable, and trauma-informed approach to teaching.
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply through us).
