It is a really exciting time in the academy’s development as we look to expand our provision, enhance the curriculum offer and build a reputation as the alternative provider of choice in the county. We have made some really exciting appointments in the last year at a time where recruitment presents it challenges and we are now looking to offer a full -time permanent contract for a teacher to join our academy.
We are looking to recruit an experienced and organised individual to join our academy to assist with site management. Pupils at this site will be in KS3 and KS4. The staffing teams are small compared to mainstream schools and the post will suit someone who can work in a fast- paced environment with vulnerable pupils. The site has approximately 120 pupils on roll and classes may have up to around 10 pupils. You may be an allocated form tutor and play a key role in pupil induction. This role may involve a cover supervisor element in teacher absence, and you will have line management responsibility for allocated STLAs.
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. You must be proactive and able to take direction, but also be able to be proactive. A growth mindset and positive ethos are essential characteristics that we are looking for. Calmness at all times is essential!
Payment of mileage and off -site travel can be claimed for in arrears. Candidates must have access to a vehicle and car insurance with business use included at the point of application and job offer. You may travel to pupil’s homes and transport pupils in this role.

Welcome to the North East Derbyshire AP Academy and thank you for your interest in our Academy.
The North East Derbyshire AP (alternative provision) Academy provides education to students who are at risk of permanent exclusion or who have already been permanently excluded from mainstream education. Our provision caters for students in Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, at sites located in Chesterfield and in the High Peak.
Every child deserves an education. Our primary aim is to support and re-engage young people, enabling them to think positively about their future pathway, and life after the Support Centre, whether that be re-integration into mainstream, further education or employment. Our Vision: "Inspire, Achieve, Exceed"
Our Pupils will:
- Feel safe, valued and trusted
- Recognise and achieve their full potential
- Take responsibility for their behaviour, and make healthy lifestyle choices
- Be positive about themselves and their future
- Be tolerant of others, and of the beliefs and views of others
- Be successful learners, both independently and when working with others
- Be self-motivated and have high expectations
We will achieve this by:
- Creating a safe learning environment, free of stigma and negativity
- Celebrating the success and achievements of every member of the learning community
- Establishing nurturing and supportive relationships between staff and pupils
- Setting high expectations for behaviour and academic success
- Providing a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum that provides the skills, confidence and qualifications to access opportunities in life
- Innovating learning, to engage and inspire
- Promoting tolerance and mutual respect
- Providing opportunities for students, parents and carers to voice opinions which form part of the decision-making process
- Providing an inclusive programme of learning opportunities and experiences that promote engagement
Whilst the majority of our students have been permanently excluded, we work closely with local school clusters and the local authority to provide education opportunities to young people who are at risk of exclusion. Such placements have been highly successful in preventing numerous permanent exclusions in Derbyshire.
We are committed to working in partnership with young people, their parents and carers, their schools and other agencies to re-engage and enable them to become successful learners and responsible citizens. Where students are able to demonstrate positive behaviour and a desire to achieve, we aim to help them transition back to mainstream school. For those who require a more alternative approach, we provide a balanced and varied curriculum, delivered through high quality teaching and learning.
Alternative Provision is not a last resort for young people. For some it is the most appropriate way to meet their needs and put them back on a pathway to success.

Yours faithfully,
Janine Dix
