Are you passionate about re-engaging learners and building spaces where every student can thrive?

We are seeking an innovative, empathetic, and driven individual to champion our high-level SEND students and lead targeted academic interventions at Key Stage 3.

This isn't just a teaching or support role—it’s an opportunity to design and cultivate a bespoke, safe environment from the ground up for students who need it most. You will be a vital bridge for young people navigating Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), helping them rebuild confidence, feel secure, and rediscover the joy of learning.

Key Responsibilities

·         Create a Sanctuary for Success: Design, launch, and manage a dedicated, low-stimulus, and supportive space specifically tailored for our high-level SEND students.

·         Deliver Targeted Interventions: Plan and deliver high-impact KS2 and KS3 Maths and English catch-up sessions, tailoring your approach to bridge learning gaps and build core literacy and numeracy skills.

·         Address EBSA Head-On: Implement proactive strategies to support students experiencing emotionally based school avoidance, working closely with families and pastoral teams to facilitate smooth transitions back into structured learning.

·         Collaborate & Adapt: Work alongside the SENDCo and classroom teachers to track progress, adapt resources, and ensure intervention strategies align with students' Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

The Ideal Candidate

We want to hear from you if you are:

·         A Specialist with Heart: Experienced in working with high-level SEND requirements and deeply understanding of the complexities surrounding EBSA.

·         An Intervention Expert: Highly skilled at breaking down KS2 and KS3 Maths and English concepts into digestible, engaging, and accessible lessons.

·         An Environment Builder: Resourceful and creative, with a clear vision of what a calming, productive, and inclusive nurture space looks like.

·         Resilient & Empathetic: Possessing the patience, emotional intelligence, and humour required to connect with vulnerable teenagers and celebrate their small wins.

What We Offer

·         A supportive, forward-thinking staff culture that genuinely values inclusion and mental wellbeing.

·         The creative freedom to shape a brand-new intervention space and make it your own.

·         Robust professional development (CPD) opportunities tailored to SEND, mental health, and academic intervention.
