• Build positive relationships with students, providing calm and consistent support for those facing challenges.
• Track student progress and contribute to Individual Education Plans and Behaviour Plans, ensuring responsive support.
• Collaborate with LSAs, tutors, care staff, and other professionals to provide consistent and effective support.
• Contribute to the development of the Science curriculum and help create a stimulating learning environment.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), PgCert Ed, or equivalent.
• Experience teaching Science to GCSE level.
• A creative and flexible approach to adapting lessons for individual students and small groups.
• The resilience and confidence to support young people who may display challenging behaviour or have complex barriers to learning.
• A genuine belief that every young person can achieve with the right relationships, support, and opportunities.
