Lead Practitioner of English Alternative Provision
Location: Tamworth (B79) Salary: GBP32,433 : GBP42,352 Setting: Specialist Therapeutic School
If you believe that behavior is communication, we want to talk to you.
We are looking for a high:calibre English Teacher to take ownership of the literacy pathway in our Tamworth:based specialist provision. This isnt a role for someone looking to follow a script; its for a practitioner who understands that for a student in crisis, a poem or a story can be a lifeline.
The Mission
Our students have complex profiles:often a mix of SEMH, ADHD, and neurodivergence:and many have experienced significant trauma. They dont need a lecturer; they need a specialist who can strip away the barriers to learning and rebuild their relationship with education from the ground up.
Your mandate:
*
Curriculum Crafting: Deliver bespoke English programs ranging from Functional Skills Level 1 and 2 to GCSE English Language/Literature.
*
Therapeutic Integration: Embed the PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) framework into every interaction.
*
Outcome Driven: Work beyond the grade book to achieve meaningful EHCP goals that prepare these young people for independent adulthood.
The Candidate Profile
We are seeking a relentlessly optimistic educator. You should be:
*
QTS Certified: With a deep pedagogical understanding of how to differentiate for complex SEN.
*
Trauma:Aware: You dont see disruption; you see a student struggling to regulate, and you have the tools to help them find their footing.
*
A Strong Communicator: Able to advocate for your students in multidisciplinary meetings and build iron:clad trust with their families.
*
Resilient: You have the thick skin and big heart required to thrive in a high:challenge, high:reward environment.
Why This Setting?
*
Autonomy: We trust our teachers. You have the freedom to innovate and adapt your curriculum to meet the student where they are.
*
Investment: From enhanced maternity packages to a robust private pension and continuous professional development, we invest in the people who do the hard work.
*
Small:Scale Impact: With a focus on Key Stages 3, 4, and 5, your ability to influence a students post:16 trajectory is unparalleled.
