We are looking to recruit an experienced and inspiring teacher to join our academy to teach our secondary age pupils. The staffing team is small compared to a mainstream school and classes will be small and may have up to 10 pupils in each. We plan to extend our provision offer further from September 2026. The post will suit an experienced teacher who is willing to be flexible to meet the needs of the pupils and the academy. We review our offer depending on pupil numbers and their needs, and we make frequent changes to ensure that the site can meet the needs of the pupils that are on roll. We welcome applications from candidates who are able to teach engaging and inspiring lessons to challenging and disengaged pupils. We currently deliver English, Maths, Science, PSHE and RE with employability vocational options. The ability to teach maths and science would be an advantage.
Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected pupils in a school or other alternative setting. An affinity for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You must be able to build positive relationships with our pupils and think outside of the box. You will be responsible for contributing to a small staffing team to ensure that the site runs smoothly. A growth mindset and positive ethos are essential characteristics that we are looking for.
Candidates must have access to a car and business insurance included.
Potential applicants are strongly advised to contact the Headteacher or Head of School directly to discuss the academy and their experience prior to application. Suitable applicants will be invited into the academy for an informal meeting to explore the role further.
