An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and inspirational teacher to join the successful Hospital and Home Education Service. We provide educational support for children and young people with medical and/or mental health needs which prevent them from attending school full time.
Teachers for the Hospital and Home Education Service work with young people (KS1-4) from Swindon across the whole ability range.
We are excited to be recruiting part-time one-to-one tutors. The post holder will involve working mainly as part of our team of Outreach teachers and may also be required to work in the Adolescent Unit or Great Western Hospital school room, depending on pupil need.
Staff employ a broad range of skills and engagement techniques to help children and young people recognise and celebrate their strengths, overcome their difficulties, cope with their medical/mental health condition and re-engage with life-long learning.
One-to-one teaching takes place either at home, school, the hospital, or in the local community e.g. a local library. Teachers deliver a learning programme which is planned with the pupil’s home school and the key academic focus on English, Maths and Science.
This is an exciting opportunity for teachers who have excellent skills from either a mainstream or special provision background, and who are passionate about teaching and learning for young people who have medical needs. We are seeking a teacher with:
• Recent experience of teaching English, Maths or Science to GCSE level and the ability to offer at least one other core subject to GCSE level.
• Recent experience of teaching KS1 or KS2.
• Is resilient, supportive and sensitive towards the needs of vulnerable pupils.
Full support and appropriate training is available to help the successful candidate settle into the school structure.

Swindon EOTAS is made up of 2 Colleges across Swindon. Fernbrook College, Riverside College and The Oakfield Pathway. We have a highly skilled staff team across EOTAS that enable our young people to build confidence in order to reach their full potential. Each College has a distinct identity, but all have a common goal – supporting young people and their families through challenging circumstances in order for them to achieve and move on to positive destinations.
We work with Swindon mainstream schools to offer a variety of education packages across our provisions. Our young people have a range of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND). This includes Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH), Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC). We also deliver bespoke education for young people who are unable to access education for medical reasons.
Our curriculum is diverse and holds high expectations for learning and behaviour; however we place a great emphasis on each young person’s personal development journey. The combination of a broad academic and personal development curriculum, an understanding of mental health and well-being, alongside strong pastoral support, provides our young people the right balance of nurture and challenge.
We aim to prepare each young person for their next phase in education; some will return to mainstream secondary school, others a special school provision and for our Year 11 students an appropriate post 16 placement; 6th form, college placement or apprenticeship.
We believe it is crucial to work together and collaborate with external agencies to provide every opportunity for families, parents and carers to overcome life's challenges. A strong team around a young person is essential for them to thrive and be successful.
