About the Alternative Provision Setting
You will be working in an Alternative Provision environment that supports children and young people who have experienced permanent exclusion, are at risk of exclusion, or whose education has been significantly disrupted.

The pupils you'll work with often present with a wide range of challenging behaviours, from emotional volatility and anxiety to withdrawn or avoidant behaviour. Many require specialist strategies to help them re-engage with learning, build positive relationships, and develop the skills to manage their emotions more effectively.

You'll encourage engagement through both academic support and enrichment activities, such as sports and outdoor learning, which are central to building resilience, confidence, and positive relationships.
