Chaselea Alternative Provision Academy
FTE Humanities/RE Teacher for September 2026
MPS/UPS
Chaselea Alternative Provision Academy are advertising for a stand‑out candidate to join our staff as a full‑time and permanent teacher. We are looking for the right person – someone who understands the needs of SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) pupils and can provide support in the care and learning of our pupils. This could be an ECT, an experienced teacher with QTS and UPS, or even an unqualified teacher. Although we are a secondary provision, the right person could be primary‑trained – we have several primary‑trained teachers on our staff. It is the right person we are after, to join our staff family and help create opportunities for the most vulnerable and complex young people. The position available is a teacher of humanities and the teacher of RE to GCSE level.
Chaselea is proud to:
* be a pupil centred, supportive and improvement focused school.
* have supportive, forward‑thinking, and positive leadership and management teams.
* show commitment to workload regulation and staff well‑being.
* teach in small class sizes enabling rapid progress and maximum achievement.
* be innovative, flexible, and continually review our progressive curriculum.
* offer genuine opportunity to develop personally and professionally.
* be open to innovation, new ideas and developmental suggestions.
* work in partnership with the Academy Trust, the Districts, external services and agencies and the Local Authority for the betterment of our young people.
Can you engage young people and enrich their educational experience?
* Are you inclusive, empathetic, and supportive?
* Are you solution‑focused, positive and determined?
* Are you confident to adapt, push and develop your daily practice?
* Are you skilled at building relationships with challenging learners?
Are you looking to make a real difference to a young person’s life?
If you can honestly say ‘yes’ to these questions, we want to meet you and welcome anyone wishing to visit the school prior to application. We have set aside two appointments for tours to meet key staff and explore the school – 12:00 on Wednesday 22 April and 10:00 on Thursday 30 April. If you would like to attend one of these dates, please either ring the school office on 01543 227095 or email office@chaselea.mhat.org.uk.
Chaselea strives to provide an “outstanding” educational experience, delivering GCSE and Vocational courses at KS4, and an innovative core subject and topic‑based curriculum at KS3. Staff are encouraged to develop skills outside their specialism and to contribute to the combined efforts of the small, committed team that are held in high regard by our pupils and the community. To do this we need a supportive, hard‑working, caring, and passionate team made up of outstanding teachers and empathetic support staff.
