Job overview

Red Balloon NWL is a workplace like no other, where you will feel supported and empowered to work with young people and fulfill your professional goals, without being constrained by the demands of the mainstream system. We are a small and nurturing community, who take staff development and wellbeing as seriously as we do that of the students.

At Red Balloon, we offer full-time provision for students who have self-excluded from mainstream school for various reasons. Our approach puts wellbeing at the core of our students’ education experience, with a strong emphasis on mental health, personal development and positive social interaction alongside academic teaching.

Students hold an absolute right to be treated with respect and care, and that right is not contingent upon their behaviour or the quality of their academic performance. Each member of our centre agrees to our policy of unconditional positive regard – every member of the community (staff or student) should always treat others with respect and dignity, regardless of the situation.

Teaching takes place in small groups. Lessons are planned around students’ individual needs and interests. As a member of the support team, this provides the unique opportunity to really get to know each student and work with them in a manner that best supports each of them as an individual.

All staff are interested in and actively involved in the wellbeing of all students, and mental health support and personal development are an integral part of the entire day, not just restricted to designated therapy sessions.

We provide academic teaching from Entry Level to GCSE in subjects of students’ interest or which are helpful to them in their future plans. Nearly all students will study English, Maths, Science and Art as a minimum, and most study additional subjects either in the centre or online.

To find out more please contact Cathy Taylor (Executive Head Teacher) on 0203 920 8209. Ask us about a tour of the school – we’d love to show you around and give you a sense of what it’s all about.

Closing date: 13th June 2022
