This is a highly rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships and helping young people reconnect with education in a calm, nurturing environment. Working with no more than two pupils at a time, you'll have the freedom to deliver engaging, personalised learning centred around each child's strengths, interests and wellbeing.
About the Role
This is not a traditional classroom role. The young people you will support experience high levels of anxiety and benefit from a flexible, relationship-first approach. Learning is delivered through Project-Based Learning (PBL), with plenty of opportunities for outdoor learning, creativity, exploration and practical activities. Rather than following rigid lesson plans, you'll be encouraged to design projects around each pupil's interests, naturally incorporating literacy, numeracy and personal development along the way. Some pupils are working towards reintegration into mainstream education, while others are accessing bespoke educational programmes tailored to their individual needs.
Your Responsibilities
- Build positive, trusting relationships with young people.
- Support pupils with ASC, PDA, EBSNA and SEMH needs.
- Plan and deliver engaging project-based activities.
- Embed literacy and numeracy into practical, interest-led learning.
- Encourage emotional regulation, resilience and confidence.
- Adapt learning to suit each pupil's individual needs.
- Record progress and work collaboratively with the wider education team.
