Application Closing Date: 13^th February 2026

We have an exciting and unique opportunity to join our highly successful Education Support Centre judged Outstanding by OFSTED.

We are looking for a Teacher of Core at our KS4 Centre.

So, what is a Core Teacher?  We are looking for someone who is fluid and flexible and may be able to offer any of the following subject areas:

·         English and/or Maths and our options curriculum at Level 1

This could suit part-, or full-time, in conjunction with the flexibility of delivering subjects with the options block.

Why?  Because we work in a holistic way where educating the whole child is at the centre of what we do.  Building relationships with the learners is paramount to the role. The nature of our curriculum allows us to build bespoke packages and therefore we are looking for the right person rather than individual subjects.

Our two straplines “'Be the best you can be” and “Inspiring Futures” underpins our work with the young people in our care and you will share our inclusive and learner-centred approach and be committed to engaging young people and their families to overcome their barriers to learning, as well as to raise their aspirations.

We are a forward-thinking, dynamic and versatile organisation that is solution-focused and are seeking a like-minded person to join us. We can offer a unique opportunity to really make and see a difference in the life outcomes for the young people we work with.

There is always something new and exciting on the horizon at DESC.  If you thrive on change, are a creative thinker and relish new opportunities then we can offer something special for you.

We pride ourselves on our commitment to a staff wellbeing package, have termly staff wellbeing time, have our own in-house Therapeutic Services Team and have been awarded the Kitemark for Effective Practice in Emotional Mental Wellbeing in Schools.  Our flexible and supportive approach allows us to be mindful and care for our staff who are our key resource.
