Redbridge Alternative Provision - Teacher of Art

If you have natural enthusiasm for working with young people and are committed to working to improve their life chances, then Redbridge Alternative Provision (RAP) would like you to join our welcoming and passionate team.

Redbridge Alternative Provision provides an education for a range of KS3 & 4 students who have been, or are at risk of permanent exclusion from their mainstream school. We are an “Outstanding” provision (Ofsted, December 2018), situated in a specially adapted and newly-refurbished building in the London Borough of Redbridge.

Applications are welcomed from dynamic and inspirational teachers, who wish to make a difference by safeguarding, raising standards and improving the life chances, behaviour and levels of attainment for some of the most vulnerable students whose previous educational experience, for whatever reason, has not been wholly positive.

We are interested in candidates that are good and outstanding teachers, who are fully-inclusive in their practice, with positive classroom management skills and a growth mind-set attitude. They need to be resilient and flexible enough to work in a pressured school environment. The successful applicants will demonstrate a strong commitment to the aims, values and ethos of the school and be a positive team player.

We are looking for:

·       A teacher of Art who will make a real difference, has the highest aspirations, passion and expertise

·       A teacher who is an outstanding classroom practitioner who has the ability to inspire, challenge and motivate to ensure that pupils are given the best opportunity to succeed, not only in the classroom but in life

·       Teachers need not come with a vast amount of experience we are seeking colleagues who are open to development and collaboration

·       You will need to be able to use a wide range of strategies flexibly, to suit the needs of our young people

·       An ability to build positive relationships with our students

·       Flexibility and excellent interpersonal skills

·       A positive attitude to hard work and challenging situations

We can offer you:

·       A welcoming and positive working environment where the well-being of both students and staff is a high priority

·       Students with whom you can make exceptional progress

·       The opportunity to be part of a hard-working, supportive, solution focussed team of professionals

·       A highly rewarding job where you can make a difference to young people’s lives
