Alternative Provision Instructor Teacher

Job Title:  Alternative Provision Instructor Teacher

Salary: £18,000 to £20,000 (max salary)

Start Date: May 2019 (or as soon as possible thereafter)

Contract Type: Full Time

Contract Term: Permanent

EdStart opened its first Independent Specialist School in South Manchester in September 2010, and now operates across multiple sites throughout the North West. Our primary function is Alternative Provision, serving the region’s schools and young people by developing a suitable environment and curriculum to match their varying needs.  Our pupils each develop an individual learning plan with their mentor or teacher which they then follow throughout their time with Edstart.

We are looking to appoint an instructor or unqualified teacher to join our existing team.

This role will involve working within small groups and at times on a 1:1 basis with pupils who require additional support.

 It is essential that you have effective behaviour management skills and be passionate about working with young people, particularly those who have become disengaged. We have opportunities across several our sites in the North West and there is scope to work across other centres.

This post is suitable for you if you have:

• Experience of working as a teacher or cover supervisor ideally in an SEN setting

• A strong desire to work with disengaged pupils and make a difference to their experience of education

• The ability to build positive relationships with pupils and staff

• Experience of supporting pupils, potentially with challenging behaviour

• Good organisational abilities, a pro-active approach and the ability to form positive relationships with the pupils

If you can enthuse, motivate and engage students and would like the challenge of working in a demanding and rewarding environment then we want to hear from you. 

We value and appreciate talent and always look to nurture this. If you are keen to train to teach, then we would look to support you in this.
