14-16 Foundation Teacher

Part time: 17 hours per week

Who we are:

Nescot’s 14-16 alternative provision unit serves students who struggle with social, emotional, and some behavioural challenges that prevent them from engaging in the mainstream school environment. We provide a supportive setting for students with mild to moderate special education needs or mental health concerns that have caused them to become alienated from the standard academic route. With class sizes capped at 8 students and a robust staff to student ratio of 1:3, we are equipped to give these young people increased attention and nurturing tailored to their unique needs. Our focus is on creating an environment where disengaged students can rebuild confidence, reconnect with learning, and flourish holistically. While aimed at supporting students who have grown disconnected from school, our provision is not intended for young people with severe conduct issues or behavioural disorders. 

What we are looking for:

• An enthusiastic science teacher that is happy to lead sport/PE session
• An individual committed to empowering non-traditional learners in our alternative provision for 14–16-year-olds. You will be attentive and responsive to each student’s unique needs. 
• Skilled in using differentiation, explicit instructions, multisensory approaches, positive behaviour support, collaborative learning and trauma informed and social emotional teaching practices to support learning. 
• Experienced in recording and monitoring each step of progress however big or small, demonstrating good administrative and organisational skills and the ability to work as part of a team. 

Duties/responsibilities:

• Plan and teach science lessons as well as PE, tailored to students who thrive outside mainstream classroom settings.
• As an advocate for expanding life opportunities for disengaged youth, you will cultivate a supportive environment where students can overcome challenges, explore strengths, and achieve personal bests.
• With compassion and high expectations, you will encourage students as they gain knowledge, find motivation, and reach for their potential.  

Benefits:

• A discounted on-site gym, sports hall, fitness class, Starbucks, osteopathy and day nursery
• 5-minute walk from Ewell East Station, Free parking on-site
• Free online qualifications
