Our ideal candidate is a dynamic and enthusiastic teacher who can work in partnership with our STEMV team to create exciting projects for KS3 and KS4 students.
We are looking for a teacher with a creative and flexible approach to supporting children and young people with a range of SEND and SEMH needs - encouraging them to reach their full potential. You will be passionate about delivering high-quality, stimulating lessons (including practical activities) to ensure that good progress is made by everyone.
You will help support children and young people who have experienced difficulty in learning in mainstream school and involve the students in local community projects. Our staff help our students develop confidence, skills and knowledge to believe that they can be successful in their own lives.

Our staff support young people who have been placed at the academy for a period of intervention work or following a permanent exclusion from a mainstream school. The academy also supports young people with medical needs.
At Olive Academies we can offer you:
- a close and supportive team in a working environment where your wellbeing is a priority
- high quality CPD, strong links to mainstream schools and opportunities for career progression
- an organisation which is values driven and has children at the centre of everything we do
