We are an educational provider for vulnerable and disengaged students in the Worcestershire area.

About the role:
We are ideally looking for a qualified Outdoor Education teacher or instructor with the ability to deliver some of the following; paddle sports, mountain biking, indoor or outdoor climbing, bush craft and hiking.

We believe in engaging subjects with teachers who fully utilise interactive teaching methods in addition to the more formal approaches to engage a wide variety of learning needs.
The ContinuPlus Academy is committed to supporting our team with their journey and career. We are always looking for ways to continue professional development and how we can move forward to better our school and therefore our students experience with us. (Basically something along the lines of CPD and how we encourage and support that).
Our teachers are bold, compassionate and totally committed to social change and improving the life chances of our pupils. If this sounds like you-come and join our team. You won’t be disappointed.
