Unlike a mainstream setting, our AP supports students who have faced barriers to education, including SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) needs and challenging behaviours.

*Adaptability: Move flexibly between different subject areas and age groups (KS3 & KS4) as required by the school’s daily needs.
Requirements*Experience: Previous experience as a Cover Supervisor, Sports Coach, Youth Worker, or Teaching Assistant is essential.
*Character: You must be thick-skinned, patient, and able to remain calm under pressure.
*Communication: Excellent verbal communication skills to navigate complex social dynamics with students.
*Availability: Ability to work 8:30 am - 3:30 pm, Monday to Friday.
Why Work at This Alternative Provision?*Small Class Sizes: Work with smaller groups (typically 6-8 students) compared to mainstream schools.
*Professional Growth: Excellent stepping stone for those considering a career in teaching or educational psychology.
*Team Environment: Work alongside a highly supportive team of specialist teachers and pastoral staff.
*Competitive Pay: Weekly pay via PAYE with access to a pension scheme.
