Ever wondered what it would be like to work for a Trust that not only fully supports your professional development but also puts your well-being at the heart of decision-making?
Due to the expansion of our Kent & Medway Hub, we have a bank of exciting opportunities available and invite you to read more about our journey so far and our exciting times ahead.
We are delighted that Alternative Learning Trust has two newly established provisions in the Isle of Sheppey. We operate two schools within one site community and are excited about the wealth of experience and expertise in the building to serve our community effectively.
Estuary Academy Island is our alternative provision, which initially opened in September 2024 to provide education for up to 115 students. It offers a broad and balanced learning journey for students in Years 7–11 with a range of vocational qualifications as well as traditional GCSEs in core subjects. Our aim is to provide pathways leading to exciting opportunities in further education or employment.
Nore Academy opened early in 2025, catering for young people aged 11–16 with primary needs in SEMH and other related SEN areas such as ASC and communication difficulties. The first phase of opening, which is ongoing, will see approximately 48 pupils join across KS3 and KS4, increasing to up to 72 by September 2025. Many of these pupils may have been out of school for some time and require support from ambitious, driven teaching and support staff who care deeply about pupils’ emotional and academic development.
Who we are looking for:
Qualified teachers or ECTs with experience in SEN, primary or secondary education, whether within special or mainstream settings. We seek highly skilled, flexible teaching staff who can work collaboratively. This role is suitable for experienced SEN practitioners, primary teachers, or secondary subject specialists.
* Candidates with subject knowledge and classroom practice to teach across both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, ideally with maths or science as a specialist subject.
* A commitment to motivating learners while challenging and supporting them to achieve their potential.
* Child-centred, organized, resourceful, and proactive candidates.
* Desire to continually improve teaching and classroom practice.
This is a full-time, permanent position on the teachers’ pay scale, open to UQT/ECT/MPS/UPS + SEN allowance.
