This teaching post offers an exciting opportunity to join our Future Steps Hub, our specialist Post 16 provision based at The White Rose Business Park.

We are looking for a teacher who believes that every young person deserves an ambitious future and who can inspire learners to develop the confidence, skills and resilience needed to achieve it.

Our Future Steps Hub has been recognised as providing a highly inclusive, aspirational and innovative curriculum that prepares young people with SEND for successful adult lives through meaningful learning, authentic experiences and ambitious destinations. Learners develop the knowledge, confidence and independence needed for employment, further education and life beyond school through a curriculum firmly rooted in real-world contexts.

At Broomfield, we make a genuine difference to the lives of our exceptional young people. We are therefore looking to appoint an enthusiastic, motivational, and innovative teacher to join our dedicated team at this pivotal time in the life of the school. We want a teacher who can ignite a love of learning, uphold our high standards, and contribute meaningfully to improving the life chances of our pupils.

Located within White Rose Business Park, the Future Steps Hub provides a unique learning environment where classrooms extend into the workplace and the wider community.

Our learners benefit from:

• meaningful work-related learning and enterprise
• community-based learning and independent travel
• Duke of Edinburgh's Award and enrichment opportunities
• personalised accreditation pathways
• strong employer partnerships
• dedicated job coaches
• a curriculum built around independence, employability and preparation for adult life.

The role

You will teach young people aged 16-19 with a range of special educational needs, planning highly personalised learning programmes that combine academic learning with preparation for adult life.

You will:

• is creative, reflective and solution-focused
• enjoys working collaboratively as part of a highly supportive team
• can develop learners' independence without creating dependence
• understands preparation for adulthood and the importance of real-life learning
• is committed to continuous professional development.

In addition the following personal qualities;

• Positive and creative attitude
