Based in the Annandale and Eskdale outreach team, you will teach and support secondary-aged young people who have social, emotional and behavioural needs (SEBN) to access education.

You will work with a team of other teachers as well as learning assistants to provide educational opportunities for young people, including supporting them on an outreach basis in a mainstream school.

You will be flexible, enthusiastic and sensitive to pupil needs.
