ON TRACK EDUCATION

On Track Education provides specialist education for young people with diverse and complex needs. Established in 2004 by a dedicated team of Special Educational Needs (SEN) teachers, we now operate eight independent schools across England. At the heart of our philosophy is a commitment to providing a nurturing, personalised, and needs-led educational experience, aiming to restore young people’s self-confidence and self-motivation through flexible programmes that combine academic, vocational, and outdoor learning opportunities.

ABOUT YOU

We’re looking for a dedicated and creative educator with a genuine passion for working with young people. Ideally, you will:

· Have experience delivering cookery lessons to secondary school pupils. Experience of teaching childcare is not essential but you must have the ability and willingness to do this as well.

• Hold a recognised teaching qualification but QTS not essential
• Be passionate about supporting pupils with SEN, understanding the importance of patience, flexibility and empathy
• Possess a positive approach to behaviour management, helping students feel safe, respected and ready to learn
• Be committed to ongoing professional development and continually improving your practice
• Have a full driving licence and access to your own vehicle, insured for business use

WHY JOIN ON TRACK EDUCATION?

· Be part of a nationwide group of schools led by innovative, supportive professionals
· Work in a setting that combines a holistic approach to learning with a strong focus on emotional and social development
· Help make a lasting difference to the lives of young people who may have been educationally overlooked in traditional settings
· Join a welcoming, committed and supportive team

We are looking for someone who can teach both cookery and childcare. You will play a key part in helping pupils re-engage with learning, build confidence, and make meaningful progress. Key responsibilities include:

• Planning and delivery of an engaging curriculum that enables all pupils to enjoy learning, achieve well, and make good progress towards clearly defined outcomes
• Teaching clear, structured lessons that help pupils grasp and retain key concepts in their long-term memory
• Setting personalised learning targets based on pupils’ prior attainment, ensuring individual needs and potential are recognised and supported
• Planning with full consideration of each pupil’s special educational needs, creating inclusive, accessible learning experiences tailored to their profiles

· Supporting young people in developing effective strategies to manage behaviour, anger and frustration in a constructive way
