We are looking to appoint a dynamic and adaptable teacher to teach Maths (Full Time - 5days per week) at our KS4 Centre in Hoddesdon teaching year 10 - 11 pupils, who has a confident understanding of the curriculum and excellent subject knowledge. This role is ideal for dedicated professionals who have a passion for supporting young people who face difficulties in mainstream education.

We encourage and welcome applications from ECT’s.

Although supporting our young people can be challenging at times, the rewards are immense as we see them develop and succeed in reaching their full potential, gaining educational outcomes, and returning to mainstream wherever possible. The work can be demanding at times but there is a high staff to pupil ratio - classes are small (max of 5 pupils) and always with TA support. We offer a supportive

management team with “an open door SLT”,  Rights to Disconnect policy, offer opportunities for staff to effect real change, and grow professionally.

Rivers ESC works with a varied cohort of pupils including children classed as missing education, permanently excluded from mainstream schools, and many of the pupils have social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties (SEBD).

Why Join Rivers ESC:

• Opportunity to make a significant impact on young people’s lives.

• Work as part of a supportive and dedicated team.

• Professional development opportunities tailored to working in alternative provision.

• A chance to deliver education in innovative and creative ways.

You will possess excellent communication and proven organisational skills and be approachable, calm and positive. You should be a team player, who is also able to work on your own initiative.

Rivers ESC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
