Job Description

This is an interesting and beautiful provision which offers help with academic and life skills qualifications for pupils who may have struggled in mainstream secondary education.

The school promotes excellent behaviour and works with the local community to help build confidence and employability skills for young learners. The school works with local businesses to provide experience which pupils may not have had in the mainstream and promote a smaller class size and strong leadership support to teachers and pupils.

This role is paid to scale depending on experience and is initially 2 days a week from the May half-term with the potential to move to full time or increased hours in September 24.
