About the role
This general teaching role is an opportunity to make a positive difference for those students who require additional support to access their mainstream schooling and overcome barriers to learning and improved behaviour. Working in close collaboration with a team of teaching assistants and hub coordinators and the leadership team, you will help deliver a curriculum that supports students, who access our centre, to improve their attendance, behaviour for learning and wellbeing. Supporting them to embrace routines and ultimately become re-engaged in mainstream education. Teaching much smaller classes than in mainstream academies, this alternative provision focuses on personal development and the health and well being of students, whilst not losing academic rigour.
About the school
